Hallo Misc,

I need some general clarification about OSPF and BGP behavior.

I have tow border routers, border1(OpenBSD4.4 - stable)and border2(OpenBSD4.4 -stable), and one core router, core1(OpenBSD4.5 - stable). Each border router talk eBGP(full feeds) with one upstream provider and have iBGP session between them. No problems here.

The two borders and the core have ospf session to each other in one area.
Border routers redistribute default to core1.
Core1 redistribute connected to borders.
No problems here as well.

I noticed something strange though.
I start mtr to ibm.com for exampe, on the core1, I get different result every time I issue the command. See the attached results.

The route is changed every time I issue the mtr command.
It also happens with yahoo and probably many other.

Is this behavior normal or there is something wrong with my configuration?

I will send my config files to you, just let me know what you need.
Also, I will provide any additional info you request.

I really appreciate your help.

Thank you,
Ivo
