Welcome to Route Redistribution

did your company merge with another company? can no one agree on one internal routing protocol? do you enjoy endless frustration? WELCOME TO ROUTE REDISTRIBUTION where every protocol has slightly different rules and all of them hate you for some reason, this shit defaults to not advertising classless networks? why the fuck would anyone not want that? OSPF default seed metric = 20 BGP default seed metric = IGP metric FYI EIGRP sets its default seed metric to infinity because make sure you use the subnets command... OR YOUR SHIT'S PROLLY FUCKED mutual redistribution? GOOD FUCKING LUCK that shit will cause routing loops so you have to explicitly tell it not to like a goddamn child hate you

A chaotic collage about configuring route redistribution between OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP, set against a burning building. The joke is that every routing protocol has different rules and defaults, so combining them creates frustration, routing loops, and inevitable curses. It is used as a reaction to complicated network engineering tasks or systems that refuse to work together.
