Full routes always. You can't do uRPF without it. Your data won't take the shortest (likely better) path to the destination if they don't know where it goes. You can't route around issues upstream without it (your providers can, but you could be one hop down the wrong path at that point). You can't perform flow analysis without it (regarding what networks your data is going to).
Con? You have to buy a router that doesn't suck. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "TJ Trout" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2016 8:14:40 PM Subject: [AFMUG] Single homed to multi, full partial or default route ?
