Nigel, >From what I understand, as far as the faster convergence times of BGP and other protocols go, this is more like an IOS improvement.
We all know that giving the same number of bgp sessions, the convergence times from different vendors are not the same, I guess cisco is just making IOS more efficient. .02 Kent ""Nigel Taylor"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > All, > I've been trying to obtain a greater understanding of cisco's newest > protocol enhancements technologies/mechanism - GRIP. > > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/grip/learn.shtml > > It seems very interesting but seems to address some of the same issues > already > identified by the IETF and the various working groups.
