Route Propagation in
Service Provider Networks
W BGP route propagation
BGP carries customer routes.
BGP carries other provider routes.
W IGP route propagation
IGP is responsibIe onIy for the next hop.
W Do not redistribute BGP into IGP.
IGP performance and convergence time suffer if a Iarge
number of routes are carried.
No IGP is capabIe of carrying fuII Internet routes.
A fuII Internet routing tabIe has exceeded 140,000 routes.
