bird vs cisco/quagga

[Борис Коваленко]

Hello, Anton!

I run OSPF to get proper IGP. As classical iBGP is working on loopbacks
with update-source. So we need to know the path. The way you want point me
is to remove OSPF and use next-hop-self, right?

Regards,
Boris

> Ok, Martin. Let speak in general. The topology is very simple:
> There is set of "area" routers speaking with "core" router by ospf. Core
> router has "supernet" routed to null (ip route X.X.X.X/20 null0) to avoid
> forwading loops to unallocated IPs. And it also injects this route into
> ospf and bgp with "redistribute static". When route is injected into bgp it
> gets some communities for further processing. Core router is speaking to
> border router by ospf and bgp. So on border router we get two routes
> X.X.X.X/20 ospf E2 type, and X.X.X.X/20 ibgp. OSPF wins, and route can not
> be announced to ebgp peers. What do You suggest? Change preference for OSPF
