Hi,

I don't think you really understand what a rib failure is.

It is my interpretation, that the rib failure, is the "not good thing".

If you get a rib failure, your route still might be reachable from that
local router in the igp.... but you won't pass this route to your neighbor
via bgp.

This link was in the archives a few weeks ago...

Hope this helps,
