No-export of course!

Using no-advertise will prevent prefixes received from AS10 to be advertized to R3 iBGP peers as well which are undesirable here.

Dear Group,

I have a confusion regarding usage of no-advertise and no-export
communities. I know that no-advertise means NOT TO ADVERTISE to any bgp peer
( iBGP & eBGP ) whereas no-export says NOT TO ADVERTISE to any eBGP peer
means don't advertise outside this AS. Consider the following topology,

R1(AS 10) --------R2(AS 10)------------R3(AS 30)

Let say AS 10 is advertising a prefix to AS 30 and requirement is that AS 30
should not forward this prefix further to any other AS. Now we have option
to use either no-advertise or no-export on R2 towards R3. Both will give the
desired result , what should be the recommended approach here ??
