Hey Valentine, Agent stopped setting this flag, here is the commit: https://github.com/Juniper/contrail-controller/commit/df02316b355b4666e4018254ba44bee754b72dd2

This is what I've got so far: Config phase: ------------- - InterfaceNH::CreatePacketInterfaceNh() creates two next hops (nh) for pkt0: one with policy disabled and one with policy enabled - VnTable::AddIPAMRoutes() creates a route to the VN's default gateway via the policy-enabled nexthop, as "we want to trap BGPaaS flows" (as the comment says). - NHKSyncEntry::Encode() pushes NH_FLAG_FLOW_LOOKUP to the kernel if both policy and relaxed_policy are enabled for the interface. Runtime phase - vRouter Agent: ------------------------------ - VrouterControllerInterface::Process() captures a packet from pkt0, decodes agent headers and sends it to the PktHandler::Process() - PktHandler::ParsePacket() is called which checks if this packet was trapped due to TRAP_FLOW_MISS or TRAP_ACTION_HOLD (or TRAP_ECMP_RESOLVE, actually). If so, it checks if it is a BGP SYN packet, creates the corresponding NAT flow for BGPaaS and pushes it to the kernel. So far, so good. Now, let us see what happens inside vRouter: - Both TRAP_FLOW_MISS and TRAP_ACTION_HOLD are set in vr_trap_flow() - vr_trap_flow() is called from vr_enqueue_flow() - vr_enqueue_flow() is called from vr_do_flow_action() if VR_FLOW_ACTION_HOLD is set - vr_do_flow_action() is called from vr_flow_lookup(), which also sets VR_FLOW_ACTIOB_HOLD on the flow if it's a new one (true for the SYN packet) **UNLESS** the corresponding next hop has NH_FLAG_FLOW_LOOKUP flag. Bang! We set the NH_FLAG_FLOW_LOOKUP flag to trap new BGP sessions to agent, and this very flag prevents them from being trapped with an appropriate reason. I doubt it's a bug as I have an impression BGPaaS works in 3.1, at least to some extent. So which piece of a puzzle am I missing? Sukhdev, you are a kind of point of contact in the TSC: may I ask you to summon a Juniper's BGPaaS expert in this thread? :-) Many thanks!
