All, I've been trying to obtain a greater understanding of cisco's newest protocol enhancements technologies/mechanism - GRIP.
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/grip/learn.shtml It seems very interesting but seems to address some of the same issues already identified by the IETF and the various working groups. Mainly what caught my attention is the technologies claim to provide faster convergence times for the Border Gateway Protocol(BGP). Here's a link to the pdf document that discusses a bit but really only makes note of the users(admins) responsibility to use existing IOS mechanisms to speed up convergence. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/grip/docs/qa.pdf Based on my past reading of rfc's like 2918, 2439, and drafts like the Graceful Restart Mechanism, I couldn't find anything that identifies what GRIP implements to assist in convergence times. Has anyone looked at this or heard anything from the cisco camp on exactly what it does from the BGP standpoint. thanks Nigel Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=52640&t=52640 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
