Using Bird BGP Daemon as a BGP Route Reflector
In a previous lab exercise, you used BGP route reflectors on core routers to reduce the number of IBGP sessions in your network. BGP route reflection is a pure control plane functionality and does not have to run on a router (or a layer-3 switch). In this lab, you’ll use the Bird BGP daemon as a BGP route reflector.
