Haha, the hub is the ultimate matchmaker, setting up the spokes with each other's routes. I wonder if the hub charges a commission for that service?

Yeah, that makes sense. The hub needs to act as a route reflector to propagate the routes between the spokes. It's like the hub is the middle-man, you know?

You're right, the key seems to be making the hub forward the routes. I think option B, configuring the hub as a route reflector client, is the way to go.

Hmm, this question seems pretty straightforward. The problem is that the spokes are not receiving route information from each other, so we need to find a way to make the hub forward those routes.
