IF it is the service provider/telco I am thinking of then yes there are a few issues with their rip-ibgp redistribution. A major customer of ours uses them for their framed-mpls connectivity. One of the known issues are with rip advertised routes being 'lost' in their mpls cloud and pe (redistribution) routers not advertising defaults out. Although, it could be that their ios version, since it is 'tailor made' for their vpn/mpls/vrf setup. *who knows* they are in the process of upgrading this to 'normal' code actually.
Although, if we are talking about the same telco, when I had talks with their tier3 guys, it was proposed to accomodate customer networks to use link state protos in the future through their mpls cloud. *shrugs* Apologies if I seem to have missed the plot in my discussion with the topic, but I have come in half way through this thread :-) Fact of the matter is, there is no valid reason to have rip running between customer edge to telco pe - especially across 150+ satellite sites on a /16. Even though we are summarising on major boundaries, that's besides the point :-P cheers, mark. -----Original Message----- From: Metla Venu Gopal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 4:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: REdistrubution - Two way [7:63827] Hi there Yes true dat.
