Hi,
I have a question regarding BIRD. Is it possible to set the BGP
aggregator attribute for a prefix using filters?
This would be useful in our anycast setup, where it can be difficult to
determine the origin of a prefix. Using communities is unfortunately not
a viable option for us — some of our hardware does not support extended
communities, and upstream networks often filter them.
To clarify, I am not looking for route aggregation itself, but
specifically a way to set the aggregator attribute.
Thank you for any insights.
Best regards,
Pavel Trefny
