### On Tue, 26 Mar 2002 08:50:44 -0500, "Chris Pace" <cpace@allmeds.net> ### casually decided to expound upon "Todd Suiter" <todd@s4r.com> the ### following thoughts about "Route Collector": CP> Is it common or a good idea to have a route collector in a CP> datacenter/enterprise environment ? We have 1 router that just collects CP> routes using bgp and ospf, then set all servers to use it as the default CP> gateway. Is this practical or am I making more work for myself ? So it's doing more than just collecting routes? It's also forwarding traffic? Is it carrying a full table of eBGP routes too? -- /*===================[ Jake Khuon <khuon@NEEBU.Net> ]======================+ | Packet Plumber, Network Engineers /| / [~ [~ |) | | --------------- | | for Effective Bandwidth Utilisation / |/ [_ [_ |) |_| N E T W O R K S | +=========================================================================*/
