The router was performing aggregation for 10.x.x.x subnets, summary-only as 10.x/16. We know that BGP will generate a null0 anchor route automatically for the summary address.

In this situation, it may be a better choice to traverse from R1 to R2 via the point-to-point link instead of going over the ISP Cloud. Here R1 and R2 are eBGP peers only. The […]
