So core sends to R1, which sends to R2... where does R2 send the
packets? Back to R1?
What are you doing in your IGP? Are you using { iBGP | OSPF |
IS-IS | ... }? How does R1 learn routes from Transit2?
What about confederations? Used correctly, they're helpful.
Used incorrectly in similar scenarios, an iBGP mesh becomes a
constantly-oscillating iBGP mess.
Are you using either
router bgp xxxx
bgp bestpath compare-routerid
or
router bgp xxxx
no bgp bestpath compare-routerid
on all routers? I'm wondering if R1 prefers Transit2 and R2
prefers Transit1 due to different path selection algorithms...
Can you "sh route" or "sh ip bgp" for a route that loops?
