I would say confeds are more appropriate for larger ibgp networks. You can have reflectors inside confederations. See the BGP chapter of the JNCIP book.

I'd say, the choice is much dependent on the "political" topology within your AS. The more inter-regional routing policing you feel that you need, the more you'd be looking at a confed. architecture. mh

Lots of things can be used to determine how you decide to set up your BGP peers. https://www.juniper.net/customers/csc/documentation/techdocs/downloads/pdf/3... has a decent amount of information on some of the differences that can help you decide how to set up your peerings.

Hello, What are the advantages of BGP Confederation over Route Reflector? I mean when one should decide to deploy BGP Confederation over Route Reflector deployment?

Thanks, Devang Patel
