Hi again, as I've seen the bgp routes and my testbed map are not good 
shown in my last mail. I try to fix this:

The bgp route table for Router 2 is:
         Prefix            Nexthop        Peer                AS Path
*> 10.1.10.0/24    10.1.10.2       0.0.0.0            i
*> 10.9.7.0/24      10.129.0.3     0.0.0.0            i
*> 10.10.10.0/24  10.10.10.10   0.0.0.0            i
*> 10.129.0.0/24  10.129.0.2     0.0.0.0            i
*> 10.3.7.0/24      10.10.10.20   10.10.10.20    65000 i
*> 10.3.9.0/24      10.10.10.20   10.10.10.20    65000 i
*> 10.9.9.0/24      10.10.10.20   10.10.10.20    65000 i
*   10.10.10.0/24  10.10.10.20   10.10.10.20    65000 i

And the bgp route table for Router 1 is:


        Prefix            Nexthop        Peer               AS Path
*> 10.1.10.0/24    10.1.10.2      10.10.10.10   i
*   10.3.7.0/24      10.10.10.20  10.10.10.10   65000 i
*   10.3.9.0/24      10.10.10.20  10.10.10.10   65000 i
*> 10.9.7.0/24      10.129.0.2    10.10.10.10   i
*   10.9.9.0/24      10.10.10.20  10.10.10.10   65000 i
*   10.10.10.0/24  10.10.10.10  10.10.10.10   i
*> 10.129.0.0/24  10.129.0.2    10.10.10.10   i


Also I attach my testbed picture, sorry for the spamming and the 
inconvenients,


                       Alejandro
