Hi, There are multiple ways you can solve that problem. We do the following: 1. Each region has its own ibgp cluster with 2 route reflectors (usually the P nodes, since they seem to have abundance of CPU power and not much to do with it). 2. All route reflectors (across regions) are fully meshed. We thought a bit about creating two 'super' route servers, but then then number of adjecencies is not that big ( we only have a few regions ). Regarding internet traffic - we keep the Internet in a VPN, all PEs that host that VPN are fully meshed and advertise only a default to the common route reflectors (in their corresponding regions). Each internet PE uses different RD, so there are multiple default routes present in the regions. kind regards Pshem 2009/9/12 Serge Vautour <sergevautour@yahoo.ca>:
Hello,
We're in the process of planning for an MPLS network that will use BGP for signaling between PEs. This will be a BGP free Core (i.e. no BGP on the P routers). What are folks doing for iBGP in this case? Full Mesh? Full Mesh the Main POP PEs and Route Reflect to some outlining PEs? Are folks using dedicated/centralized Route Reflectors (redundant of course)? What about using some of the P routers as the Centralized Route Reflectors? The boxes aren't doing much from a Control Plane perspective, why not use them as Route Reflectors.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks, Serge
