MMIX Route Servers

MMIX maintains route servers at each of the Peering LANS allowing member to establish multilateral peering with other participants Technical Details are as follows: -

AS Number : 9654

Server	IPv4 Address
mmix-rs1	103.116.194.1
mmix-rs2	103.116.194.2

All route servers filter bogon address ranges.

Policy Control

Policy control is done by using of BGP Communities. Members must tag their routes with the following to control policy via the route servers. Besides the standard well-known community attributes like NO_EXPORT and NO_ADVERTISE, the following table shows other supported attributes and the top-down evaluation order.

0:9654	Block Announcement of prefixes to all peers
0:(peer-as)	Block Announcement of prefixes to certain peer
9654:(peer-as)	Advertise to certain peer
9654:9654	Advertise of prefixes to all peers
0:11344	Do not announce to GGC
1:11344	1 HOP prepend to GGC
2:11344	2 HOP prepend to GGC
3:11344	3 HOP prepend to GGC

Prefixes which are untagged will be advertised to all route server peers. Attributes that do not much MMIX’s attributes will be passed on transparently.
For members having 4-bytes ASN, they will be mapped to private ASNs. Hence, prefixes announcement is still possible to be manipulated using community strings.
