Re: WG last call on -bgp-confed-rfc1965bis-00

Hi Tony,

Really yes, many customers use confederation, and for design, really, if we
have just Route-reflectors ...
Confederation is really funny to design and configure, not simple to
deploy, or migrate in an existing network. With extension of Pan European
Network, each country like to administrate its own network, confederation
is the best solution in this case, for me. Now, could you tell me if we
have confederation in an MPLS/VPN network. Actually, we can use Route
Reflector. I think confed, in this case, is similar to MP-eBGP. 
Someone has some info concerning this ?
