[eix-wg] "advertise to all" BGP community

Dear group,

we are putting a couple of Bird route servers with an IXP manager front-end to Slovenian internet exchange (SIX). At route servers, we are using the well known model for BGP communities:

block announcement of a route to a certain peer  0:peer-as
announcement of a route to a certain peer        ix-as:peer-as
block announcement of a route to all peers       0:ix-as
announcement of a route to all peers             ix-as:ix-as

How do you handle the announcements with no community set? Do you request that "announcement of a route to all peers" is set in order to announce the prefixes from your IXP route servers?

I will appreciate your feedback, thank you.
Kind regards,
	Matjaž
