Route reflectors are a specialized type of router used in BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) networks. They are used to propagate routes within Autonomous Systems (AS). Instead of propagating all routes among all BGP routers in the AS, route reflectors provide a hierarchical structure, allowing for faster and more efficient routing. Route reflectors reflect back any changes learned from one BGP speaker to all other BGP speakers in the AS, which in turn reduces BGP routing load.
