I see. =20
Yes=2C I also heard that many networks have RFD enabled although it is not =
recommended=2C and=20
I was wondering why that would be. =20
So far from the responses=2C it seems to me that the reasons are:
1. to protect the network resources=20
2. to confine the flapping announcements made by customers locally within y=
our network (easier to debug)
Do you have any other reasons if you use RFD?
Thanks Kevin and everyone for the responses.
