First you will have to explain to me how taking routing from the RA route server would help avoid a collapse of my iBGP mesh...
Sean.
You got me on that. I can't help you. I doesn't look like we've lost an IBGP connection since Nov 5 at 00:06:37 (E147). :-) We only lost a number of EBGP sessions between AS690 and our Cisco concentrators. We did lose quite a few EBGP sessions to other providers. It's usually a year or more between anything at all of the magnitude of an IBGP collapse on our net since about 1992 when rcp_routed managed 3 backbone wide core dumps in a week so my experience with this sort of things is quite limited. We still do find an occasional gated bug though. I defer to the experts. :-) Curtis ps - faster routers in the world. yeah right. so much for the Bradner tests. :-) :-)
