Question about BGP (quagga) and IPMP
Hi everybody,
Just a quick question:
BGP quagga and IPMP should work together. Quagga documentation explicitly states that IPMP should be unconfigured before using the daemon, but given that BGP does not care about link state, or interfaces generally, why would the BGP implemented by quagga not work with IPMP?
I understand why routing protocols such as OSPF or RIP would be a problem, since they auto discover neighbours using multicast on a dedicated interface, but BGP peering is a manually configured pure TCP(179) connection, no different from telnet.
I believe we may be unnecessarily shutting off a possible routing option, or have I missed something?
Regards
Daniel
