DescriptionstringThe BGP speakers in an AS are required to be fully meshed. This can lead to a huge number of TCP connections per router. One way to reduce the peering requirements is to use a confederation. A confederation effectively partitions one AS into a group of ’ sub-ASs ’ . This enables all of the benefits of IBGP to be applied inside the confederation, while enabling EBGP to be run between each confederation. It also enables certain BGP attribute values to be preserved between confederations. However, to the outside world, the AS with its confederations appear to be a single AS. CIM_Confederation

DescriptionstringCIM_SystemComponent is a specialization of the CIM_Component association that establishes ’ part of ’ relationships between a System and any ManagedSystemElements of which it is composed. Use this association with caution when using it instead of a subclass such as SystemDevice or a peer association such as HostedService. This class is very broadly defined, which can lead to erroneous use. For example, Access Points that are dependent on (and hosted on) a System are NOT Components of the System. The System is not made up of any AccessPoint ’ parts ’ , which is why a Dependency association, HostedAccessPoint, was defined. Similarly, a PhysicalPackage is not a ’ part ’ of a System, because the physical element exists independently of any internal components, software, and so on. In fact, again, a Dependency relationship is true where a ComputerSystem is Dependent on its packaging, as described by the ComputerSystemPackage association. CIM_SystemComponent

DescriptionstringCIM_Component is a generic association used to establish ’ part of ’ relationships between Managed Elements. For example, it could be used to define the components or parts of a System. CIM_Component
