1. Use IBGP and redistribute connected/static and when you can, aggregate those statics/connecteds at each router. 2. Use IGP (IS-IS level-2 or OSPF area0) for the backbone links and IBGP, Any-RP loopbacks. Don't add instability to your IGP when you have IBGP that can take care of it much more efficiently. As long as IGP can reach/see each router's loopback, IBGP will work great for connecteds/statics (just make sure you don't announce these specifics to your peers). 3. Don't use static routing for backbone links.... i am not sure how that even came up. Remember this is a NSP of some sorts.
vadim's english was not so bad it needed reinterpreting
not reinterpreting... just enhancing.:)
4. Do multicasting, just make sure you get clueful on it. Its not rocket science... and with PIM sparse/dense, its much easier than the DVMRP days. (and make sure you get on a good IOS release and stay off the buggy releases)
that's anything since the lost stanford backup tapes? and msdp worked almost as well on that release as it does now.
msdp/mbgp has its own definition of "good IOS release"... but it works. -dave
