* BGP is an EGP, not an IGP * You might want to check out OSPF if you think your net will grow Using iBGP between the 2 cities right now. May try OSPF later.
* You don't want your IGP influencing your EGP. Flap, flap. * Redistributing EGP into IGP isn't exactly good, either.
Are the upstreams the same in each city? Why not announce the aggregate /20 normally, and set NO_REDISTRIBUTE and use MEDs on the /21s? You're paying for transit, so MEDs are fair game.
Well, the assumption is that most of the time the circuit between the 2 cities will be up, so flapping should be rare. The transit is from different providers, so only announcing the /20 won't do the trick. -Ralph
