Automatability is a nice perk, but scalability is key.

Automatability sounds familiar, but I feel like scalability is the more significant benefit in this context.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think security wasn't the main focus of confederations.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think they also improve availability by reducing the number of BGP sessions.

I'm pretty confident that the correct answer here is scalability. BGP confederations allow you to break up a large BGP network into smaller, more manageable autonomous systems, which improves the overall scalability of the network deployment.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is the benefit of BGP confederations related to availability, security, or automatability? I'll have to review my notes to refresh my memory on the specifics.

Ah, I remember learning about this in class. BGP confederations help improve the scalability of a nationwide router network by reducing the number of BGP peering sessions that need to be maintained. That's got to be the key benefit.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know BGP confederations have something to do with improving the scalability of a network, but I can't quite remember the specifics. I'll have to think this through carefully.

BGP confederations? More like BGP confessions, am I right? Gotta keep those router secrets locked up tight!
