Re: OSPF vs IS-IS vs PrivateAS eBGP

2009-09-11 Thread Fouant, Stefan
I can tell you one reason IS-IS has been traditionally preferred over OSPFv2 is due to it's use of TLVs, which makes IS-IS highly extensible and easy to support new features. I remember when we first rolled out MPLS code on our core routers at UUnet, support for traffic engineering extensions m

I don't know if you want to arbitrarily use local-pref and AS-Path prepend in a one-size-fits-all approach, as under certain scenarios it might be more beneficial to route traffic between POPs to take advantage of routes via shortest AS Path or other constraints. Why not just extend your IGP ac

Topology and setup of these kinds of tests largely depend on whether you are testing iBGP or eBGP. In my experience, eBGP testing is fairly straight forward as you are almost always testing reconvergence of the BGP next-hop. iBGP testing scenarios on the other hand can be quite a bit more compl
