     Hi all,

     a Route Reflector (RR) is supposed to simulate IBGP connections
between the RR clients, so it has to forward the updates received from
clients to the rest of clients. However we have faced up with the following
situation.

     We have routers A, B, C and D, as clients of a RR . A and B are
announcing to the RR the same network (for instance 1.1.1.0/24) with
different attributes. We supposed that router C and D would received the
two updates from RR. However, we have realized that the RR selelected the
best path according to its policy routing and only reflected this best path
to the other RR clients.

     As you could suppose we are interested on C and D receive the two
updates, so that they can apply their own policy routing to select the best
path.

     Should not the RR forward all the updates that it receives from the
clients to the rest of the clients?
     Any suggestions to overcome this problem?

     Thanks,
     Noemí.
