I have a connection to a peering fabric and I'm not distributing the peerin=
g fabric routes into my network.=0A=0AI see three options=0A1. redistribute=
into my igp (OSPF)=0A=0A2. configure ibgp and route them within that infra=
structure.=A0 All the default routes go out through the POPs so iBGP would =
see packets destined for the peering fabric and route it that-a-way=0A=0A3.=
leave it "as is", and let the outbound traffic go out my upstreams and the=
inbound traffic come back through the peering fabric=0A=0A=0AAdvantages an=
d disadvantages, pros and cons?=A0 Recommendations?=A0 Experiences, good an=
d bad?=0A=0A=0AI have 5 POPs, 2 OSPF areas, and have not brought iBGP up be=
tween the POPs yet.=A0 That's another issue completely from a planning pers=
