Well, we upgraded from 7206VXR NPEG1s to 7301 but the software went from 12.3(26) to 12.2(33)SRE1 as well.

The interfaces on both sides are all set to 9216 mtu but the path between them is a lot less than that. Another thing that a colleague of mine pointed out was that the distance between these routers might be something to look at. The latency is around 85ms.

So even with the stuff above, it all seems to work with the older IOS version but not the newer.

BTW, our routers are setup in a full ibgp mesh somewhat like this but with a crisscross as well:

vanc-router1 -------------- toro-router1
     |                           |
     |                           |
vanc-router2 -------------- toro-router2

The vanc routers are running 12.3(33)SRE1. They can establish an ibgp session to each other with no problem. Same thing for the toro routers. It was only the ibgp sessions from vanc to toro that were not coming up. Now that I've downgraded toro-router1 to 12.3(26), it has established the sessions to vanc-router1 & 2.

We upgraded some 7301 routers the other night
to which software?

and there are a couple of
neighbors which have not been able to re-establish themselves.
Debugging from one of the routers shows this:

Nov 21 21:06:51.902 EST: BGP: Neighbor validation failed. Flags: 0x10,
Neighbor-topo check: passed, Router ID: 172.29.1.1

we've seen this once in an environment where the path/interface MTU
didn't match.. can you check the MTU on the interface(s) and the MSS
negotiated? TCP transaction debug might help..
