BGP - What are iBGP Route Reflectors?

A Route Reflector (RR) is an iBGP router that acts as a centralized route management point within an AS. It is a method of overcoming the scalability problem that the iBGP full mesh peering requirement introduces into an AS. In this video, I will delve deep into what RRs are, how they operate, and how they overcome the limitations of scalability inherent to iBGP peerings.

If you want to find out more about the BGP routing protocol, or the method by which attributes are used to determine the best path, and other interesting features of the protocol, take a look at some of my other videos linked below (after the chapter list...)

Great tutorial for BGP, Can you please do the same for OSPF?

Great explanation as always . I have two questions if you can answer will be a great favour .

1) Other than the scalability factor what other main benefit Route Reflectors carries . Like in full mesh each router need to have ibgp peership and will exchange routes thus increasing configs and processing issues. But the same thing RR is doing being alone getting routes and reflecting etc ?

2) Where will be the convergence fast ? In full mesh or RR and why ?

let me be honest you are so great as a teatcher so please consider to give your knowledge of all CCNP Encor exam thx anyway
