Why don't they just (like a lot of other people do), Advertise their Auckland networks via APE only and their Wellington Networks via WIX only. Then they wouldn't be providing transit down the country.
Advertising the Entire Clear Network via APE and the Entire Clear Networks via WIX is the problem. Thanks Craig
The use of BGP communities would help solve their problems regarding routing ingress and egress points. Pity it isn't more widely used..... Transits can be filtered by community tag within an AS, and most major vendors support using bgp communities in this way
