Hi Ryan,

Is there room or use for standards work here? Just spitballing, but
something along the lines of:

A synthetic BGP route is a BGP route produced by an AS other than the
original origin of the IP addresses contained. Examples include
default routes, black-hole routes and routes produced by a route
optimizer in a middle network.

The producer of a synthetic BGP route MUST mark the route with community XXX.
Routers MUST NOT remove the synthetic community XXX from a route.
Synthetic routes learned from EBGP sessions MUST be rejected by
default. Routers MAY accept synthetic routes learned from EBGP
sessions if explicitly configured to do so.


Regards,
Bill Herrin
