Hi, There are multiple ways you can solve that problem. We do the following: 1. Each region has its own ibgp cluster with 2 route reflectors (usually the P nodes, since they seem to have abundance of CPU power and not much to do with it). 2. All route reflectors (across regions) are fully meshed.

Hi, I have seen networks use the control plane of large P routers to reflect their inet-vpn routes. Keep in mind that when reflecting inet- vpn routes, the next-hops need to be "reachable". So quite possibly you will need some policy to resolve the MPLS next-hops. Internet / VPN / and now

Hi there The RR vs Full Mesh depends on what how you would like to balance your exit/peering points across the network. If you have, say, 3 border routers in 3 different regions, you should need at least 3 RRs if you want each region having it's own preference for the external routes. I would adv
