BGP peer-groups are in my eyes, strictly used to simplify configurations.
Let's say you had 5 peers in the same as, wanted to use the same route-map
out, set your next-hop-self and other things. Wouldn't it be easier it just
define a peer-group and add each of those neighbors to that group rather
than type each of those commands to each neighbor. Saves time and potential
for error.
As far as conferations go, completely different reason behind those. Guess
in short they're meant to save resources on a bgp speaking router as far as
peering goes. Same with RR's.

Subject: bgp confederation [7:38630]
what is the difference between a bgp confederation and
a bgp peer-group?
are they both, in addition to route reflectors, all
simply used to avoid having to do a full mesh?
thanks
