The way I understand this to work is that within a peer group, every
peer establishes a connection with its border peer(s), and every border
peer also establishes a connection with every other border peer.
In the given scenario, the SRB client attached to the ring of the peer
'client' in group 1 would send an explorer looking for the server. The
explorer would then be passed by the peer to the border peer for its
group, which would pass it to every other peer within the group and
every other border peer, including that for group 2. The group 2 border
peer would then forward the explorer to all other peers within its
group, eventually finding the server. The positive reply to the
explorer would then travel back to the originating peer via the border
peers, after which the 'client' peer in group 1 would then establish a
direct connection with the 'client' peer in group 2. Traffic for the
session would then flow directly between these two end peers and not
have to travel via the border peers.

Subject: DLSW+ Border Peer Configuration
I'm running through some final configuration scenarios, and need a bit
of
advice about this.
I'm trying to setup a DLSW+ configuration using border peers.
In group 1 I have 3 peers and a border peer, and in group 2 I have 3
peers
and a border peer.
Border peers are configured as follows:
dlsw local-peer peer-id nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn group 1 border promiscous
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn (address of group 2 border
peer)
Group peers are configured as follows:
dlsw local-peer peer-id nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn group 1 (or 2)
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn (address of border peer for
this
group).
All appears fine, and the capabilities for the peers look correct - I
just
want to understand a bit more how this works.
Let's look at the situation where a SRB client attached to the ring of a
peer client in group 1 wants to connect to an SRB server attached to the
ring of a peer client in group 2.
Am I correct in assuming that the individual peers will send all of the
traffic via the border peer router to the remote site (once the ARE has
established the route) ? Is this also the case between peers in the same
group ?
