- Service Provider should filter some IP prefixes in incoming updates, such as RFC1918. Because a customer should only advertise its global networks to the Service Provider.
- Multihomed Customers should avoid becoming a Transit-AS. As by default in most of the cases the tie breaker for BGP is the Shortest AS-Path, so the providers connected to the to customer will use the customer link as a Transit-AS to reach each other.
- Service Providers should filter Private addresses in incoming updates of Customers.
- In a scenario where a customer has two border routers without IBGP, and IGP inside the AS, there will be no loops, but if running IBGP between the border routers, special care should be taken or a direct link between the two border routers is required.
- Policy Routing only affects the Next-Hop. The destination is unchanged!
- Policy Routing is CPU intensive, because it is based on the source unlike Dynamic and static routing. So, when routing based on the destination there is no need of Policy Routing.
- Customers can only affect their outgoing traffic, and can’t directly affect incoming traffic.
