<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Short time listener & first time

size=2>I have some questions regarding, the kind of configuration that is
typically done, on a BGP-enabled router sitting at the edge of the network.
My questions may have already been answered earlier, if that's the case,
then someone please point me to the relevant mails...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. In general, how many BGP peers should an edge
router be capable</FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>of handling, more
specifically, how many E-BGP peers</FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>and how
many I-BGP peers are typically incident on one edge router.</FONT><FONT
face="Times New Roman"> </FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. In most
situations the routes to the stub networks are manually injected into
BGP.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>I feel that's the most common
scenario but was wondering if running some IGP</FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial
size=2>between the stub network and the provider edge router and then
importing the routes</FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>from this IGP into
BGP is also common ? Is this also done frequently enough ?</FONT><FONT
face="Times New Roman"> </FONT><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another option
could be to run a BGP session between the stub network and</FONT><BR><FONT
face=Arial size=2>provider edge router. Is this preffered ?</FONT><FONT

help/suggestions would be highly appreciated.</FONT><FONT
