Re: Exchange point networks

One difference is that Route Servers, like the ones run by Merit RSNG team, are based on the Internet Routing Registry, whereas route reflectors are not. Route Server routes are re-announced based upon configured IRR policy.

Actually, a key difference is that Merit Route Servers allow for *multiple* views, whereas route reflectors and (most router-based) route servers provide only *one* view of routes. -abha ;)
