The Route Reflector Preserves IBGP Attributes

The route reflector concept does not change IBGP behavior the route reflector is not allowed to modify the attributes of the reflected IBGP routes. The NEXT_HOP attribute, for example, remains the same when an IBGP route is exchanged between RRs. This is necessary to avoid loops inside the AS. Figure 9-6 illustrates why the RR should not modify the attributes of the reflected IBGP routes. The NEXT_HOP attribute is used as an example. Figure 9-6 focuses on the portion of the network where Dallas...
