Our school of thought has always been, build scalability from the beginning even though you only have 2 routers in the network, i.e.: * support BGP peer groups or peer session templates from day one. * support route reflectors from day one. * support multi-area/multi-level IGP designs from day one. * support Loopbacks in the IGP and prefixes in iBGP from day one. One never knows when the network is going to explode - it saves you a lot of hassle and potential re-design, down the line. Probably the same reason most folk will buy a router/switch with full flash/memory from day one, even when it probably won't have BGP from the onset. Cheers, Mark.
