AS-PATH PREPENDS
Sprint allows customers to use AS-path prepending to
adjust route preference on the network. Such prepending will be received and passed on properly without
notifiying Sprint of your change in announcments.
LOCAL PREFERENCE
You can control the local preference for your
announcements on the Sprint router using a community string which you may pass to Sprint in your BGP session. The
following table lists the community strings and the corresponding local preference that Sprint will set in
the network. Remember that community strings are not exported by default, so be sure to add whatever export
command is neccessary for your router.
