[j-nsp] bgp-reflextion license

[Matthias Gelbhardt]

Hello!

I have the problem, that we will have 5 sites with eBGP by the end of  
the year. A fully meshed network will be possible, but perhaps it is  
now the best time to think about other solutions. Would a route server  
with quagga be the perfect solution? does anyhone has some experiences  
about that?

Regards,

Matthias
