I would definately not recommend route reflection or a confederation in a network with such a small number of BGP routers:
In spirit of the above, I suggest you also do not have maintenance window, forget about re-checking configs, enable to do the simpliest commands, and of course let everyone try debugging any problems by typing random commands into your routers. After all, your network consists of only 4 routers.
Ok, but how is _not_ using route reflection or a confederation similar to the above???
I fail to see how using confederations makes it complicated. In fact, should a network consist of two or above pops, and has more than one exit point, confederations are an excellent way to give one ability to fine tune traffic distribution. Alex
