Re: Ubiquity<->Mzima routing loop

No, a true routing loop will transit several hops and end back up at the same routers. A bouncing route between 2 routers is usually a directly connected route on an interface that goes down thereby "pulling" the route with out a nail down route it will send unkown route back out its default gateway.

Isn't that what a routing loop is, when it loops back out to the
transit/interface from which it entered?
