Well, our network is made up of a lot of remote sites, in a sort of
three-level tree. Each site has a range of networks that can be
summarised. The loopback(s) for a site are part of that range, so once
the site's networks are summarised, it doesn't add any extra to the route
table. You don't want to know about the actual addressing - suffice to
say it does not follow recommended addressing guidelines, but it's like
that for historical reasons and we've never found a compelling reason to
do the work required to change it.

Subject: loopback interface range for ospf & bgp [7:38628]
what range do people generally use? also.. if people
use /32 masks and advertise all of the loopback
"networks" via an igp doesn't that add a crap-load of
discontiguous routes to the ole route-table?
i guess what i am looking for is a case-study for a
large bgp/ospf installation, and how they treated
their loopback interfaces/router id's
thanks
