All,
Please correct or expand on this explanation. I have heard it used when
referring to the Internet BGP Routing Table.
Flapping is often caused by a WAN link such as a T1 which is going up and
down. When this happens it can cause routes to be added/withdrawn very
quickly from the BGP routing tables. This consumes cpu cycles on the
routers participating in the BGP. The flapping refers to the route being
added and withdrawn repeatedly. On Cisco routers bgp dampening can be
enabled which will minimize the effects on router cpu associated with a
large number of BGP updates due to route flapping.
