Abstract:

   The procedures in BGP Route Reflection (RR) spec RFC4456 primarily
   deal with scenarios where the RR is reflecting BGP routes with next
   hop unchanged.  In some deployments like Inter-AS Option C
   (Section 10, RFC4364), the ABRs may perform RR functionality with
   nexthop set to self.  If adequate precautions are not taken, the
   RFC4456 procedures can result in traffic forwarding loop in such
   deployments.

   This document illustrates one such looping scenario, and specifies
   approaches to minimize possiblity of traffic forwarding loop in such
   deployments.  An example with Inter-AS Option C (Section 10, RFC4364)
   deployment is used, where RR with next hop self is used at redundant
   ABRs when they re-advertise BGP transport family routes between
   multiple IGP domains.
