Hey Saku,
Yes please, with BGP free core one usually relies on RRs and my point is that
it's a good practice to run separate BGP process/RR (or at least sessions) for
public control plane so malformed update that would god forbid cause iBGP
session reset won't affect private control-plane sessions.
With regards to QOS,
In my opinion QOS is just a small piece in the puzzle (as a meter of fact it's
not even the first thing that matters when a packet hits the box) and I think
that one has to be well versed with how an ideal data-plane architecture looks
like in order to be able to assess the HW capabilities and all the chokepoints
across the chassis at hand correctly. Only then one can tell whether a
particular HW fits the design requirements. There are cases were one doesn't
need to bother but designing a converged network is not one of them.
That said, I'd like to encourage all folks on the list to get educated in how
routers work, it's fun trust me. I find it striking how much we know about how
control-plane works (SR, BGP, ISIS ...) but so little about a life of a packet
through the data-plane, even though a great deal of info is available online
(though don't expect any fancy certificates for knowing this stuff). Every time
I ask a data-plane question on the list I get little relevant info and Saku is
basically the only one whom I may discuss these topics with except the vendor
folks.
