If anything, at least in the ISP context, it's probably more the other way around. Remember also that you can build hierarchies of route reflector clusters. ISPs, as opposed to enterprises, tend not to have a lot of internal policies about what can go where. They also make increasing use of MPLS in their cores coordinated with BGP at the edge. > >-----Original Message----- >From: Bob Dixon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 12:32 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: OT: BGP confeds versus RouteReflectors > > >Folks, > >Anyone have any real-world pro's/con's for BGP confeds versus >RouteReflectors.
