The following import actions are common to every RealConnect transits session:
- RFC1918 and other reserved networks and subnets are not permitted.
- Advertisements with reserved ASes in the path (ie 64512 - 65535) are not permitted.
- Prefixes shorter than /3 or longer than /24 are not permitted.
- Localpref will be set to 75 by default.

The following import actions are common to every RealConnect peering session:
- RFC1918 and other reserved networks and subnets are not permitted.
- Advertisements with reserved ASes in the path (ie 64512 - 65535) are not permitted.
- Prefixes shorter than /3 or longer than /24 are not permitted.
- Localpref will be set to 85 by default.
- A hard limit is placed on the number of routes a peer is allowed to announce to us. This number is based on their registered routes plus a bit of extra overhead. If no routes are register, then we look at what we receive when peering is establish and add overhead for future growth.

The following import actions are common to every RealConnect customer peering session:
- RFC1918 and other reserved networks and subnets are not permitted.
- Advertisements with reserved ASes in the path (ie 64512 - 65535) are not permitted.
- Prefixes shorter than /8 or longer than /24 are not permitted.
- Advertisements containing the AS of a network with which we have a non-customer peering relationship are not permitted (ie customers are not allowed to advertise transit for Global Crossing, Genuity, Level(3), etc).
- Advertisements tagged with our own "internal use only" communities (ie transit, customer, etc communities outlined below) will have all of their communities stripped from them at ingress, and any communities meant to affect localpref, prepending, etc are thus ignored.
- Localpref will be set to 100 by default, subject to modification based on received communities as outlined below.
- A hard limit is placed on the number of routes a customer is allowed to announce to us. This number is based on their registered routes plus a bit of extra overhead.
- Suppression and prepend actions as outlined in the community list below are taken for announcements to non-customer peers.

customer traffic engineering (TE) notes
--------------------------------------------------------
Communities allow suppress or prepend to peer AS, where
- peer AS has a peering connection to RealConnect
- peer AS is not a customer of RealConnect
At this time, supported AS XXX are or Transit ASes only are AS174, AS3356, AS3549.
--------------------------------------------------------
Customer traffic engineering communities - Suppression
Note that these are apply at egress only. See below.
--------------------------------------------------------
65000:0 - Do not announce this route to any peer
65000:XXX - Do not announce at peerings to AS XXX
--------------------------------------------------------
Customer traffic engineering communities - Prepending
--------------------------------------------------------
65001:0 - Prepend once to all peers
65001:XXX - Prepend once at peerings to AS XXX
65002:0 - Prepend twice to all peers
65002:XXX - Prepend twice at peerings to AS XXX
65003:0 - Prepend 3x to all peers
65003:XXX - Prepend 3x at peerings to AS XXX
65004:0 - Prepend 4x to all peers
65004:XXX - Prepend 4x at peerings to AS XXX
--------------------------------------------------------
Customer traffic engineering communities - LocalPref.
The following BGP communities can be set by RealConnect BGP customers to affect route announcements.
--------------------------------------------------------
16559:110 - Set Local preference to 110
16559:100 - Set Local preference to 100
16559:90 - Set Local preference to 90
16559:80 - Set Local preference to 80
16559:70 - Set Local preference to 70
========================================================
List of customer ASes is describe and maintain in AS16559:AS-CUSTOMERS

========================================================
For the customers without ASes, we use AS16559:RS-CUSTOMERS to describe their routes and they will be announce under RealConnect AS number.
