Since this problem is so common, we will describe two different ways in which next hop oscillation presents itself, and solutions for each of these problems, in the following sections.
In some cases, next hop recursion oscillation can cause a BGP speaker to rapidly choose between two different exit points. Figure 8.9 illustrates ...
