Abstract
A method for scaling hierarchical route reflectors (RRs) using automated Outbound Route Filtering (ORF) is presented. A first route reflector identifies other route reflectors configured as Route reflector clients within a route reflector hierarchy. The first route reflector then builds a common set of route target filters received from the client route reflectors and sends the common set of route target filters to client route reflectors.
