Configuring the MSDP mesh groups

Configure mesh groups to reduce SA flooding. A mesh group does not forward SA messages to other group members in the same mesh group. The originator, which is also a mesh group member, forwards SA messages to all group members. Create MSDP mesh groups from a group of meshed MSDP speakers from a domain. Do not create MSDP peerings between Controllers within the same SPB domain.
