Spelling: BGPvsOSPF
BGP VS OSPF
A PRO\'S AND CON\'S INVESTIGATION
OSPF
Pro's
Con's
Has an entire picture of the network
Multicast Hello's have less than spectacular reliability
Can resolve multiple path questions sanely
Has poor administrative controls
Has good support for metrics and metric calculations
No support for FlapDampening [1]
Established on the network
Doesn't match the political structure of the network
BGP
Pro's
Con's
TCP based transport
Has less information about specific links within regional groups
Better administrative controls
Excellent support for FlapDampening [2]
Better support for the administrative structure of the network
Now an initial survey of the above would suggest that BGP is the
logical choice for the network.. but the con against it is MASSIVE
particularly when you consider that we already have these multipath
questions being asked see RGsouthern
