  Subject: Wanted: one more well-known BGP community
  
  Why can't "no-advertise" be used for this? Because it doesn't really make
  sense to set "no-advertise" in an outgoing update. Cisco's "route-map"
  facility, for example, can't do this because when it is used to set
  "no-advertise" in the BGP routing table, the route is naturally not
  advertised to any neighbors. The "no-advertise" community is something
  that only really makes sense when applied to incoming updates (in fact,
  one uses "no-propagate" by configuring a router to set "no-advertise"
  on any routes received with "no-propagate").

No advertise is applied on the way out, therefore no-advertise
  
  The "no-propagate" community requires no special semantics and no changes to
  BGP implementations, it just requires a community number to be assigned so
  that the keyword will (hopefully) be added to routers whose parsers recognize
  the names of well-known communities.
  
  Comments? Thoughts?

Yes, this is an inappropriate forum for discussing feature requests with
cisco.  Please use [e-mail] unless you're talking about
a standardized IETF protocol, which communities are not.
