Flapping refers to a link going up and down.
Dampening is a BGP feature used to minimize the instablility caused by a
flapping link. A route that is flapping receives a penalty of 1000 for each
flap. When the accumulated penalty reaches a configurable limit, BGP
suppresses advertisement of the route even if the route is up. The
accumulated penalty is decremented by the half-life time. When the
accumulated penalty is less than the reuse limit, the route is advertised
again (if it is still up).

Subject: Flapping and Dampening
Would someone be so kind as to explain these too terms, in english?
While I'd honor references to where I can get definitions, instead of just
uses in context. I'd greatly appreciate a translation into laymen's terms
of these two definitions.
Thank you.
