No, I mean BGP.

Synch is ONLY an issue with iBGP. There's no such
thing as synch for eBGP learned routes.
When you set "router bgp xxx/no synch" you are telling the
router to IGNORE the synch requirement and do use
(and install) routes that you have in BGP table even though
you don't have them (beforehand) in your routing table.

By having no synch, you can actually use BGP as your IGP...
(not something I would do in general :-)

Yes. And this is something that is implemented differently in
different IOS versions. Sadly, I've seen no document stating
HOW it is done. I hope Paul does get the search engine up and running
shortly. There are tons of info on this (an other) subjects
in the archives...
