Re: Cluster-ID and Originator-ID of group RR

Hi Brian

U always use these terms Control Plane Loop and Data Plane loop

Can u brief me about which are the features avoid control plane loops and
data plane loops

Data plane loops are avoided by TTL only.. Is there any other way to avoid
data plane loops

Control Plane loops: Multicast RPF, Cluster ID, Originator ID, Duplicate
LSA from Sequence Number, ADv Router ID and Link ID in OSPF,

Add more to this..
