Overview
Describes strategies to manage BGP slow peers by detecting them, isolating them from update groups, and resetting eBGP sessions on link failures to maintain update throughput and session stability.
You will learn methods for managing slow peers, isolating them from update groups, and resetting sessions after link failures.
BGP slow peer management
Describes how BGP groups neighbors into update groups to optimize update generation and explains mechanisms to mitigate the impact of slow peers on update throughput.
BGP slow peer automatic isolation from update group
Explains automatic detection and isolation of slow peers into dedicated slow update groups to prevent group-wide stalls and allow non-slow peers to continue processing updates.
eBGP session reset on link failure
Describes automatic resetting of eBGP sessions on link failure to enable rapid failure detection and cleanup, with options to disable resets and support for high session counts.
