Setting the BGP route sending rate
If a device sends many new routes within a short time period, it might be unable to add the routes to the FIB before the peer device adds them. This might result in traffic forwarding failure. To avoid this problem, you can perform this task to set an appropriate route sending rate for the device.
For a device with high performance, you can set a high BGP route sending rate as needed. For a device without high performance, set a relatively low BGP route sending rate as a best practice.
This task applies only to IPv4 unicast routes and IPv6 unicast routes.
To set the BGP route sending rate:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter BGP instance view. | bgp as-number [ instance instance-name ] | N/A |
3. Set the BGP route sending rate. | route-rate-limit rate | By default, the BGP route sending rate is not set. |
