-Bird is a commonly used BGP daemon. This page provides configuration and help for using BGP communities with Bird for dn42.

-

-Communities can be used to prioritize traffic based on different flags, in DN42 we are using communities to prioritize based on latency, bandwidth and encryption. Please note that everyone should be using community 64511.

-

-The community is applied to the route when it is imported and exported, therefore you need to change your bird configuration, in /etc/bird/peers4 if you followed the Bird guide.

-

-The filter helpers can be stored in a separate file, for example /etc/bird/community_filters.conf.

-

-Below, you will see an example config for peers4 based on the original filter implementation by Jplitza.

-

-To properly assign the right community to your peer, please reference the table below. If you are running your own network and peering internally, please also apply the communities inside your network.

-

-## BGP community criteria

-```

-(64511, 1) :: latency \in (0, 2.7ms]

-(64511, 2) :: latency \in (2.7ms, 7.3ms]

-(64511, 3) :: latency \in (7.3ms, 20ms]

-(64511, 4) :: latency \in (20ms, 55ms]

-(64511, 5) :: latency \in (55ms, 148ms]

-(64511, 6) :: latency \in (148ms, 403ms]

-(64511, 7) :: latency \in (403ms, 1097ms]

-(64511, 8) :: latency \in (1097ms, 2981ms]

-(64511, 9) :: latency > 2981ms

-(64511, x) :: latency \in [exp(x-1), exp(x)] ms (for x < 10)

-

-(64511, 21) :: bw >= 0.1mbit

-(64511, 22) :: bw >= 1mbit

-(64511, 23) :: bw >= 10mbit

-(64511, 24) :: bw >= 100mbit

-(64511, 25) :: bw >= 1000mbit

-(64511, 2x) :: bw >= 10^(x-2) mbit

-bw = min(up,down) for asymmetric connections

-

-(64511, 31) :: not encrypted

-(64511, 32) :: encrypted with unsafe vpn solution

-(64511, 33) :: encrypted with safe vpn solution (but no PFS - the usual OpenVPN p2p configuration falls in this category)

-(64511, 34) :: encrypted with safe vpn solution with PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy)

-

-Propagation:

-- - for latency pick max(received_route.latency, link_latency)

-- - for encryption and bandwidth pick min between received BGP community and peer link

-```

-For example, if your peer is 12ms away and the link speed between you is 250Mbit/s and you are peering using OpenVPN P2P, then the community string would be (3, 24, 33).

-

-Two utilites which measure round trip time and calculate community values automatically are provided, written in [ruby](https://github.com/Mic92/bird-dn42/blob/master/bgp-community.rb) and [C](https://github.com/nixnodes/bird/blob/master/misc/dn42-comgen.c).

-### Route Origin

-There are two type of route origin: `region` and `country`

-

-#### Region

-The range `41~70` are assgined to the region property.

-According to [this mail](https://lists.nox.tf/pipermail/dn42/2015-December/001259.html) these are the communities for route origin(region):

-```

-(64511, 41) :: Europe

-(64511, 42) :: North America-E

-(64511, 43) :: North America-C

-(64511, 44) :: North America-W

-(64511, 45) :: Central America

-(64511, 46) :: South America-E

-(64511, 47) :: South America-W

-(64511, 48) :: Africa-N (above Sahara)

-(64511, 49) :: Africa-S (below Sahara)

-(64511, 50) :: Asia-S (IN,PK,BD)

-(64511, 51) :: Asia-SE (TH,SG,PH,ID,MY)

-(64511, 52) :: Asia-E (JP,CN,KR)

-(64511, 53) :: Pacific&Oceania (AU,NZ,FJ)

-(64511, 54) :: Antarctica

-(64511, 55) :: Asia-N (RU)

-(64511, 56) :: Asia-W (IR,TR,UAE)

-(64511, 57) :: Central Asia (AF,UZ,KZ)

-```

-

-#### Country

-The range `1000~1999` are assigned to the country property, we uses the country code from [ISO-3166-1 Numeric](https://github.com/lukes/ISO-3166-Countries-with-Regional-Codes/blob/master/all/all.csv)

-The `1000 + country code` are the communities for route origin(country).

-```

-(64511, 1124) :: Canada

-(64511, 1156) :: China

-(64511, 1158) :: Taiwan

-(64511, 1250) :: France

-(64511, 1276) :: Germany

-(64511, 1344) :: Hong Kong

-(64511, 1392) :: Japan

-(64511, 1528) :: Netherlands

-(64511, 1578) :: Norway

-(64511, 1643) :: Russian Federation

-(64511, 1702) :: Singapore

-(64511, 1756) :: Switzerland

-(64511, 1826) :: United Kingdom

-(64511, 1840) :: United States of America

-# etc. Please follow the ISO-3166-1 Numeric standard

-# https://github.com/lukes/ISO-3166-Countries-with-Regional-Codes/blob/master/all/all.csv

-```

-

-You need to add following lines to your config(s):

-- `define DN42_REGION = $VALUE_FROM_ABOVE` to your node's config (where OWNAS and OWNIP are set)

-- `if source = RTS_STATIC then bgp_community.add((64511, DN42_REGION));`

-just above `update_flags` in `dn42_export_filter` function

-- Unlike the other community values, **the DN42_REGION community should only be set on routes originating from your network!** (This is what the `source = RTS_STATIC` check does).

- - Otherwise, if you export routes across multiple regions within your network, you may be sending incorrect origin information to other peers.
