>No reason in particular. Just thought it was more taxing than OSPF.
For a small number of routes, without complex policies, probably less than OSPF. Basic BGP processing load goes up linearily for a single interface, where the SPF algorithms' load go up exponentially. People get confused about BGP load because they tend to assume it always deals with 100K=plus routes. Not the case. > > >""Howard C.
