- Traffic destined to routes with a community 100 have to pass by R3
- Traffic destined to routes with a community 200 have to pass by R2
In order to realize this, R1 marks routes with a community field, R2 and R3 modify the local_pref to follow the rules aboves.
In our case:
- Lo1 will be 'marked' with a community 200:100 by R1
- Lo2 will be 'marked' with a community 200:200 by R1
- Route with a community 200:100 will have a local_pref of 1000 (R3).
- Route with a community 200:200 will have a local_pref of 500 (R2).
