A non-client is an IBGP peer that functions as neither an RR nor a client. A non-client must establish fully meshed connections with the RR and all the other non-clients.
In an IBGP setup with a Route Reflector (RR), a non-client is an IBGP peer that is neither the RR itself nor its client.
Non-clients must establish fully meshed IBGP connections with all other non-clients and the RR because IBGP rules prohibit route propagation between non-clients without a direct connection.

The behavior of non-clients in an RR topology is clearly outlined in the BGP implementation chapters.
