BGP has a number of serious flaws. The more complex the routing mesh, the more they will become visable. And if what I see is correct, IDRP, the BGP heir, has the same sets of problems.
Another suggestion? Lacking one, one might suggest that the complexity of the 'mesh' needs to be simplified.

This almost sounds like an EGP apologist... :) I know that several folks have identified the problems in these two protocols and are working on fixes which range from patches to new protocols. Simplifing the mesh is no longer a tenable position, IMHO. Its time onceee again, to upgrade the in-flight 747, but this time its not changing the wings, now we rebuild it to a 777 :) -- --bill
