If you have two route reflectors that ALL your router use, then in practice, it may not really matter. However, in most practical deployments, there are multiple route reflectors serving a fixed set of routes in a separate region of the network. Not fully meshing the route reflectors would partition the network. > http://rekrowten.wordpress.com/2013/05/24/bgp-route-refle > ctor-and-why-is-cluster-id-obsolete/ Which is an issue if your route reflectors are in-path. If you're running control-plane-only route reflectors (out- of-path), then this should not be an issue. Mark.
