Wellthat is what the book says. Try it out on your own lab and you will see that a Route-reflector client does not have to be directly connected to the Route-reflector for it to work. Just tried it in my home lab and it works, the client is 3 routers away. Message Posted at: http://www.groups

Yes, EBGP multihop is between different AS's, that is a different setup, it must also have a way of reaching across the hops, an IGP. On a IBGP you can have a hop across ie 5 routers in a IBGP peering session. As long as the IGP can reach the other peer it will work. Also, the full mesh requiremen

A practise that is becoming quite common is running BGP on the edges of an AS only. It is a waste for a router in the core to have a full internet table. The Core could then comprise of ie MPLS which would optimize the traffic flows. I cannot remember which book I used but when I was studying for t

Ken, Technically speaking, even eBGP has the ability to peer with neighbors that aren't directly connected. Typically, eBGP peers will have diect physical connectivity, whereas iBGP peers are part of the same AS, as long as a route/path exist to that peer, connectivity shouldn't be a probl
