Re: OT: GS Archives Search

Marc...thanks, this is the search page I was looking for.

I wanted to search the archives to see if someone has asked why MP-BGP couldn't stick with RTs to "distinguish" customer routes, by extending normal 4 octect addresses with RT and not RDs, this will still achieve a 96 bit addr that can be used for MPBGP. I understand why RD cant do the job of RTs(flexibilty, complexities and load sharing traffic MPLS VPN traffic etc.), but I don't get why RTs can't do the job of RDs. I think the simple answer to this lies in the design/conceptual decisions. Perhaps RD was designed before RTs came into being. Nothing in the RFC 4364 to say this as I read.

Like everyone said, we all know what they are n do. There are some design decisions fundamentals that cant be questioned I suppose, or maybe they can....like why Area 0 (not Area 1) for OSPF BB and Level2 (not Level0) "contiguousness" for ISIS, why does higher priorities in OSPF and lower BID in SPT win elections .....etc

I thank everyone for their explanations of RT/RD. Very much appreciated.
