BGP Route Reflectors are a feature of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) used to reduce the complexity of routing within an autonomous system (AS). Route reflectors are used to increase scalability of BGP in large networks by reducing the number of BGP sessions required to maintain full mesh connectivity. Route reflectors act as an intermediate between BGP speakers, collecting routes from one or more BGP speakers and then propagating those routes to other BGP speakers. This allows for the BGP topology to be organized into a hierarchical structure, thus reducing the number of required BGP sessions.
