Somewhat analogous how RR makes your network more redundant than full-mesh. Because in full-mesh every iBGP flap is out of order, whereas in RR a single iBGP flap has no impact. Of course parallel continues to scope of outage, in full-mesh losing single iBGP isn't a big outage, in RR it's binary, either nothing is broken or all is. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
