Title: BGP Route Reflection - An Alternative to Full Mesh IBGP
State: Pending

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an inter-autonomous system routing
protocol designed for TCP/IP internets. Typically all BGP speakers within a
single AS must be fully meshed so that any external routing information
must be re-distributed to all other routers within that AS. This represents
a serious scaling problem that has been well documented with several
alternatives proposed. This document describes the use and design of a
method known as "Route Reflection" to alleviate the the need for "full
mesh" IBGP.
