Does anyone have any input on when this does make sense ? We have 3 Main IP
pops with upstream BGP at each and 4 internal BGP sessions. I am looking to
add 2 new routers so there will be about 7 sessions on each border router.
They are 7206VXR all 256MB RAM just acting as border. No customer circuits,
etc. Is it time to look at route reflectors at this point ? Any input or
guidelines for making a smooth transition from Full mesh ?
Thanks
Eric
