Saku, Indeed. iBGP will be redundant and resilient, yes... with a cost, 90 seconds (timers) of unavailability and more 1-3 minutes to get back online. I know, we can change timers, bfd and so on... I used that before... but....
Not everyone have MX960, MX480 handling BGP in every part of the network, I don’t have... I have QFX, hundreds of them. Now imagine in some MX, you have 5/6 full routing table coming from upstream or peerings partners. Now experience a flap between two of those MX exchanging full routing table for a entire night.... At some point, routing engines become angry and stop updating routes(normally, MX have a baaad routing update rate). Doomsday have arrived! Everyone gets crazy, angry customers blaming, services inside vpls, vpls getting loss bla bla bla.... Degraded fibers keep flapping lights on/off less than 30/90 seconds, no iBGP alarms. No one knows what’s going on... As I said: VPLS save me from the dark(another Operation History: Once Upon time: we used Portugal Telecom IP/MPLS solution), Now L2circuits now enlightened my days. I can sleep! By the way, I still using VPLS/iBGP for point multipoint services. att Alexandre Em 7 de jul de 2018, à(s) 17:16, Mark Tinka <[email protected]> escreveu: > > > On 7/Jul/18 18:03, Alexandre Guimaraes wrote: > >> Yes!
