Mark,
The standard already exists... "NO_EXPORT".
I don't think this is the ask here. Today NO_EXPORT takes no parameters. I think it would be of benefit to all to be able to signal NO_EXPORT TO ASN_X in a common (std) way across all of my peers connected to ASN_X. Moreover policy on all vendors could understand it too without you worrying to match YOUR_STRING and translate into some local policy. That is by no means taking away anything you have at your fingertips .. it just adds an option to talk common policy language. Cheers, R.

On the majority of IXPs, and most of the Transit Providers, the very common community tell to route-servers and routers "Please do no-export these routes to that ASN" is: -> 0:<TargetASN> So we could say that this is a de-facto standard. But the Policy equivalent to "Please, export these routes only to that ASN" is very varied on all the IXPs or Transit Providers. With that said, now comes some questions: 1 - Beyond being a de-facto standard, there is any RFC, Public Policy, or something like that, that would define 0:<TargetASN> as "no-export-to" standard? 2 - What about reserving some 16-bits ASN to use <ExpOnlyTo>:<TargetASN> as "export-only-to" standard? 2.1 - Is important to be 16 bits, because with (RT) extended communities, any ASN on the planet could be the target of that policy. 2.2 - Would be interesting some mnemonic number like 1000 / 10000 or so. The standard already exists... "NO_EXPORT". Provided ISP's or exchange points can publish their own local values to match that within their network, I believe they can do whatever they want, since it's locally-significant. I'm not sure we want to go down the trail of standardizing a "de facto" usage. Just like QoS, it may be doomed as different operators define what it means for them. Mark.
