This document describes the use of a well-known Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) community for destination-based blackholing in IP
networks. This well-known advisory transitive BGP community named
"BLACKHOLE" allows an origin Autonomous System (AS) to specify that a
neighboring network should discard any traffic destined towards the
tagged IP prefix.
