Do you think that it can be a real persistent routing loop (data packets would actually shuttle between the two interfaces) as against some wierdness because of traceroute?
Seems like a persistent routing loop. One possibility I've heard about is the persistent routing loops that can occur if an internal router is not situated topologically close to its BGP route reflector: http://www.globecom.net/ietf/draft/draft-dube-route-reflection-harmful-00.ht... Does anyone have any idea of if/how often these types of persistent loops occur in practice? I guess there would be no way to really tell if this was the cause without having some knowledge about the internal topology... Nick
