I've 2 bird bgp routers internally connected with 2 links.<BR>
To make benefit of both links, i should have been using iBGP configured on a "stub" or loopback address, but there was an issue with (bird-ospf).<BR>
So i choose to use 2 iBGP sessions, using both links, to ensure redundancy<BR>
<BR>
The reason for choosing the vrrp address seems to be logical as it is on IP in our "owned" range and not any of a transit.<BR>
I'd not see a regular way to setup such readonly monitor link.<BR>
<BR>
i'll send you the configs of the 2 iBGP routers, and my monitor bird config .<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance<BR>

Why such strange setting?
BTW, for iBGP, the proper configuration is to have one BGP session with each
of these two routers.
To find the problem, i would need your config files (for all three
routers).
