Greetings all,
In a redundant RR design, I have several questions that don't seem to be
clearly covered in RFC1966.
1) Does a given route-reflector have to peer with the other
route-reflectors in its own cluster ??
2) If yes to 1), do the RRs in the cluster peer with each other as
clients or non-clients ??
3) If no to all of the above, do you just put X numbers of route
reflectors into the AS and each client etc. in the cluster now
peers with X # of RR's ?
Above and beyond all of the above (actually depending on all of the above
), if my client router hears something from RR1, will it also hear it
from RR2 ?? Is there a race condition ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. All route-reflector servers within your network should be fully
meshed.

All route-reflector servers peer as non-clients.

Read BGP 101. A client router is just like any other BGP router, the
protocol allows for a BGP router to hear multiple announcements for the
same destination. The router will choose the best destination based on
the usual BGP decision rules.

Why dont you setup multiple clusters and have one rr for each cluster? it
is possible to have more then one rr per cluster.. but i dont know if this
is what you want to do.

It appears that UC Berkeley has been off line for the majority of the day.
AS 25 disappeared sometime earlier today. Anyone with some knowledge out
there?
I noticed that, as my SETI stuff hasn't been working
