Hi All, I have a debate raging with one of my co-workers as to how one should deploy route-reflectors that has reached the point where I need some help from people that know lots about it ;-) If I have a number of clusters each with its own route-reflector(s) how should I peer between clusters ?
From reading RFC1966 ( and common sense ) it seems that the clusters should be fully meshed, and this is my opinion, however another opionion is that one should build a tree of route-reflectors with some route-reflectors not serving clusters but solely existing to reflect to other route-reflectors.
Now I think the second idea would work and might be useful in some very specific cases, but would be madness given that each of the route-reflectors that form nodes of the tree represent single points of failure and that a failure of the root node would have catastophic results .... Any comments ?
