DE-CIX GlobePEER Route Server Informational BGP Communities
Updated
by DE-CIX PS Team
We use BGP Communities to tag some additional information on redistributed routes. These kind of BGP Communities will be referred to as Informational BGP Communities.
See DE-CIX/DaaS GlobePEER Service Info for an overview of route server ASN in use at all IXPs operated by DE-CIX indicated by placeholder
<RS_ASN> belowRoute Origin
The route servers will tag all routes to indicate their origin. You can use this information to determine where a certain route has been injected into the DE-CIX switching platform. This gives you the option to filter routes learned from the route servers based on geographical location.
Every route you receive from the route servers will have four (additional) BGP Communities attached which indicate location information:
- Switch: e.g. 172 for edge03.fra12 (see table below for more information)
- Metro: e.g. 0 for Frankfurt (see table below for more information)
- Country: e.g. 276 for Germany (UN M49 format)
- Continent: e.g. 150 for Europe (UN M49 format)
To avoid ambiguity about the semantics of a certain BGP Community, especially when being present multiple times, we strip all BGP Communities from the range that we use for route origin tagging on import. This is:
where
<RS_ASN>:1911:*<RS_ASN>:1912:*<RS_ASN>:1913:*<RS_ASN>:1914:*where
<RS_ASN> is the corresponding route server ASN at a given IXP.Route Origin Overview

If the exact location of a customer cannot be determined from our database, or in certain special cases, we mark these routes with
<RS_ASN>:191{1-4}:65535, meaning "unknown".Example
A route has the following BGP Communities attached:
400330:1914:19400330:1913:840400330:1912:4400330:1911:127
From these BGP Communities you can deduce that a given route learned from the DE-CIX Phoenix route servers (AS400330) has been injected into the DE-CIX platform from Americas (400330:1914:19), United States of America (400330:1913:840) in metro region New York City (400330:1912:4) at edge02.nyc1 (400330:1911:127).
