The organizations that export/import routes via the route servers may find: 1) the routers have fewer configured peers therefore resulting in less load on the routers 2) the route servers have route flap dampening implemented thereby insulating the peer from a high number of routing updates 3) the route servers do the routing computations which results in freeing significant amounts of processing time on the peer routers 4) a reduction in the time and energy (people resources) needed to establish new peering relationships --Elise
I, as an example of an "organization" as described above, have found these things to be true. The startup transient is high -- all those this-objects and that-objects. But once it's up and running, adding route relationships is much easier using the route server than by adding BGP sessions. Of course, I don't do anything complicated. I understand that Sean and others have found that they need to do things with their route import and export rules that the route servers don't have a way of expressing. Perhaps if I were running a net as large as Sean's I would have his troubles.
