Hi folks.
I am working on a project for which I am using the bgp routing tables from
routeviews and their update traces. In some update traces from routviews I
noticed that the nexthop field is set to: 255.255.255.255
Is this a valid nexthop ? Is their any meaning or significance to this
nexthop ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
