A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

        Title           : Route Reflection Considered Harmful
        Author(s)       : R. Dube, J. Scudder
        Filename        : draft-dube-route-reflection-harmful-00.txt

   Route reflection as defined by [2] is a popular way of reducing the
   full-mesh IBGP peering required by routers running the Border Gateway
   Protocol [1]. There are cases where a topology built using route
   reflectors produces persistent loops or does not produce the same
   results as what one would expect with a full IBGP mesh. This document
   describes these problems.

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.

Send a message to:      mailserv () ietf org.  In the body type:
        "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-dube-route-reflection-harmful-00.txt".
        
NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.
                
                
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
