interesting BGP discussion - external links into IGP or not

[wintermute000]

Coz we haven't had enough arguments like this lately

takeaway: do not argue with Brian McGahan (or any other 4xCCIE for that matter), even if he is contradicting Internet Routing Architectures!

I hadn't looked at it like that. That's brilliant, thanks! I always reasoned that an external prefix should not be in an IGP if it's not necessary but this is a clear use case.

Very interesting, that's the kind of stuff the books don't teach you! Thanks for posting
