The statement in the book means that either all IBGP peers are fully meshed ( which is a logical mesh not mandatory a physical one ), or use Route Reflectors to reduce the number of IBGP sessions needed.
For example, if you have 10 routers that want to run IBGP over, those 10 routers doesn't have to have direct physical connections from each router to the others to initiate this Full Mesh - logical - IBGP sessions. Another example, we can have a full logical IBGP sessions between those 3 routers which are Ra-Rb, Ra-Rc, Rb-Rc while not having a full physical mesh ( Ra & Rc are not directly physically connected together ) RouterA----------RouterB-------RouterC >Group, > >In reading the BSCN book, I have stumbled across something confusing when it >is discussing "route reflectors".
