Title : Route Reflection Considered Harmful
Author(s) : R. Dube, J. Scudder
Filename : draft-dube-route-reflection-harmful-00.txt
Pages : 5
Date : 04-Nov-98
Route reflection as defined by [2] is a popular way of reducing the
full-mesh IBGP peering required by routers running the Border Gateway
Protocol [1]. There are cases where a topology built using route
reflectors produces persistent loops or does not produce the same
results as what one would expect with a full IBGP mesh. This document
describes these problems.

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-dube-route-reflection-harmful-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
