It may be useful for a BGP speaker in an autonomous system to receive
and accept its own advertised route from a route reflector with more
fine-grained route control. For example, the route reflector can
change certain attributes of a route as desired, and then re-
advertise it back to the originator. Though it is possible to perform
such policy control directly at the originator, it may be
operationally cumbersome in a network with a large number of border
routers having complex BGP policies.
This draft defines a new and well-known BGP community value,
ACCEPT_OWN, that signals a BGP speaker to accept an UPDATE message
and process the associated routes even when the ORIGINATOR_ID or the
NEXT_HOP matches that of the receiving speaker.
