Yes, an iBGP session is possible between A & C. Route Reflectors main purpose was to reduce the iBGP full mesh requirement, thus providing for BGP scalability. If you only have 3 BGP speakers then there is no need, unless you are expecting BGP speaker growth. I would address the lack of redundancy for your BGP sessions. - - ********************************************* Robert Crowe Network Consulting Engineer Advanced Services Cisco Systems, Inc. 7025 Kit Creek Road P.O.
