I see. Yes, I also heard that many networks have RFD enabled although it is not recommended, and I was wondering why that would be. So far from the responses, it seems to me that the reasons are: 1. to protect the network resources 2. to confine the flapping announcements made by customers locally within your network (easier to debug) Do you have any other reasons if you use RFD? Thanks Kevin and everyone for the responses. Jonathan

In general I am against route flap dampening -- however many networks still have it enabled and when a customer flaps a few times and calls my operations center I want to be able to clear it on *my* network rather than having to tell them to call misc other network or coordinate that on their behalf.

Thank you! Jonathan
