Hi Thomas, It is my understanding that the RIBs were moved out of the routing-instance in response to your comment that a RIB would need to be attached to multiple routing instances. I don¹t agree with this model. I believe that a routing instance implies a VRF, virtual router or something in between and that a RIB should be associated with one and only one routing instance. Additionally, I feel that RIBs are basically passive entities with respect to import/export of routes between RIBs in the same or other routing-instances. Rather, all import/export is under the control of a routing-protocol. For example, this would be handled by a BGP routing-protocol instance for L3VPNs.
I¹d like to get the opinions of others on this fundamental aspect of the rtg-cfg model. Thanks, Acee _______________________________________________ rtgwg mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/rtgwg
