Abstract:
A system comprising a BAFX adapted to provide a route exchange between dissimilar address family interfaces; wherein the BAFX is a control plane BGP speaker that connects directly to each address family interface specific route reflector and wherein each address family interface specific route reflector advertises its BGP content to the BAFX for translation; and the BAFX translates a received address family interface format into a destination address family interface format and announces a reformatted route address to a destination route reflector.
