Is there any registry or documented method for allocation values for "BGP communities" to be used inside the AMPRnet as helpers for the BGP routing?
I have not seen a AMPR specific communities suggestion list.
I now use one value to tell the other routers that a route is not over radio (but over internet tunnel, in this case) so inside the network it can be used as a backup route when the radio route fails.
Might I suggest setting higher link costs in your IGP on the wireless link interfaces as a easier way to achieve trying to influence a path? Or even better yet, use MPLS-TE and set explicit path names. You could have a more preferred tunnel path and then a backup path as well... and more.
