Null communities suporting organizations: GBLX,  UUNET, NLAYER, et al
Others who can also do null routing over bgp community, please come forward. One of my customers may be interested in doing business w/ you ;-)

I have not seen any QoS policy propagation over BGP (qppb i think is what they call it?) stuff in provider environment yet.. I dunno if qppb is even the right thing for this, but I think it is. But then again, considering most providers don't even support null community, this is like asking too much ;-) And qppb would be something new and it would put more strain on router as it has to rate limit stuff now..
