using the same cluster-ID on both RR has the potential of routing breakdown.
Imagine a client that connects to two RR which has some cluster ID. Client advertise
a prefix to RR1 and RR2. Now link between RR2 and client break or BGP session goes
down. RR1 will advertise that prefix to RR2 but RR2 will reject it because it has a same
cluster-ID in the cluster-Iist. Thus RR2 will have no way to reach prefixes advertise by client
Thanks
