I fail to see what reflectors have to do with stability (except for the
obicous human errors and configuration mistakes). Reflectors and
confederations is more to help with scaling. And I would then expect the
number of BGP speaking routers to be up around 10-15-20. It doesn't make
much sense below that (unless you are playing with the number of routes on
boxes).
Last I fail to see what the number of reflectors have to do with
correlation to a IGP?
