What exactly do you mean by a route reflector in the context of Border Gateway Protocol? Why is it necessary? |
|
Answer» In BGP, a route reflector is a ROUTER which is capable of breaking the internal BORDER Gateway Protocol (iBGP) LOOP avoidance rule. Under certain settings, a route reflector can broadcast updates received from an iBGP peer to ANOTHER iBGP peer. By breaking the criterion and designing iBGP networks that scale quickly and cleanly, route REFLECTORS are employed to eliminate the full mesh requirement. |
