Unfortunately increasing the preference of the b_rr1 session is not an
option as from my understanding it would completely eliminate the bgp
route selection rules (All routes learned via b_rr1 are preferred over
b_dtag1).
Is there any other solution for this besides doubling the iBGP
connections (adding seperate blackhole only sessions with higher
preference)?
