Since it is "common" and since it "doesn't seem to break anything" in ral terms, what happens? BGP advertises reachability to other BGP routers, be they internal or external. But in terms of a packet traveling from my house to a destination that is "inconsistant" what happens? What matters? My packet continues to be passed from here to there until some directly connected router receives it. I'm assuming that "inconsistant" does not imply "loop" thanks. >snip for brevity< Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=45163&t=45163 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
