[c-nsp] iBGP questions

[Kanagaraj Krishna]

Hi,
   I have a few questions on iBGP setup:

- Our current network is multihomed with a few upstream providers. Internally 
we run a meshed iBGP session between our core network devices. In the core we 
have two Catalyst switches that are trunked with each other (for VLAN 
purpose). Do we need to run iBGP session between them too?

- Does iBGP influence incoming traffic path etc? We have a situation where 
ping&trace to a certain destination from different devices (meshed iBGP) in 
the same network producing different results latency wise (although the trace 
path seems to be nearly the same). Any idea what is happening?

Thanks.
