Does anyone have any input on when this does make sense ? We have 3 Main IP pops with upstream BGP at each and 4 internal BGP sessions. I am looking to add 2 new routers so there will be about 7 sessions on each border router. They are 7206VXR all 256MB RAM just acting as border. No customer circuits, etc. Is it time to look at route reflectors at this point ? Any input or guidelines for making a smooth transition from Full mesh ? Thanks Eric
