Disclaimer
- In networking "Redistribution" is the process of sharing routing information from one protocol to another protocol
- Redistribution can occur between process
- This is something we typically try to avoid
Advantages of Route Redistribution
- Reachability!
- Multi-vendor
- Useful in mergers & acquisitions
- Improves compatibility
- Filtering
- Possible cost savings
- We didn't had to buy new hardware/license
Disadvantages of Redistribution
- Dissimilar metrics
- Suboptimal routing
- Potential for loops
- Complexity
Mutual Redistribution

- In between we are exchanging this routing information
- From the users perspective they are not gonna now redistribution is happening
