[f-nsp] Ibgp Routes.

[A.P. Krijgsman]

Dear Steven,

As you can see in the Summary, both routes have only one transit uplink.
Each router only has one bgp session for external routes.
Wouldn't that mean that they need to sent all eBGP routes to the iBGP 
neighbor?
Or does it match the routes from both routers?

I wonder what happens if one of our uplinks fails. Will I be able to sent 
full transit over the iBGP session?

Regards,
Armand
