A BGP group can send the link-bandwidth non-transitive extended community over an EBGP session for originated or received and readvertised link-bandwidth extended communities.
To configure the non-transitive link bandwidth extended community, include the

hierarchy level. This feature facilitates the integration of devices with different transmission speeds within the network, enabling efficient traffic distribution based on link speed.[See and group (Protocols BGP).]
