[c-nsp] OSPF+BGP and MPLS Q's

[Nick Cutting]

Quick question as I am clueless on large SP networks (I'm a MSP guy not an ISP guy )- why not area 0.0.0.0 ?

This message originates from outside of your organisation.

If you think your network is going to continue to grow , dual route reflector cluster is a huge must have in my mind, I love how you can add address families to one neighbor and let it bounce while the other neighbor stays up with all your routes still there

I have ran a 100 node single area OSPF (area 0.0.0.1) MPLS/LDP network for several years, I believe simplicity and only as much complexity as is required for the job
