Re: Newbe question - Relevance of OSPF

there is an old RFC about OSPF and BGP with syncrinoztion and same router
ids

http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1403.txt

3. BGP Identifier and OSPF router ID

   The BGP identifier MUST be the same as the OSPF router id at all
   times that the router is up.

and the OSPF Router ID is an extended community in MBGP, but having them
match, you cannot have the same router id on two routes, it will complain
and not work...
