BLACKHOLE BGP Community

Goal

The introduction of a well-known Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) community for destination-based blackholing in IP networks. This well-known advisory transitive BGP community named BLACKHOLE allows an origin AS to specify that a neighboring network should discard any traffic destined towards the tagged IP prefix.
