That would be one hell of a coincidence to have the same bug across different implementations of NSR/NSF across two different vendors. That said, stranger things literally have happened. There are a bunch of other possible causes though. What happened in the rest of the network? Was all

You can verify whether the fast external failover is enabled for the peer/globally (should be on by default). -in that case the 3min hold down timer does not need to expire when the link to neighbor fails and the adj-rib-in is flushed immediately. Also you can verify whether the BGP Next-Hop

Hi Payam, yes the logs clearly show that the failures start after the link goes down. We have external monitors set up via a 3rd party monitoring ASP that watch our various services. Some, but not all, of them reported connection issues for about 4 minutes. We also run 'rpm' probes from the

John, do you have any idea how to view the negotiated parameters for Graceful Restart? Or peak into its current state? I tried setting traceoptions: protocols bgp group my-group traceoptions flag graceful-restart detail but that hasn't yielded any log messages. perhaps negotiation only happens

One of my providers (and eBGP neighbor) recently had a hardware failure which caused the port that connects our two routers to go down. My router did detect the link failure and BGP pretty much immediately transitioned to an Idle state. my side is a Juniper MX80 running 11.4, their side I

Hi Chris, yes, i am taking full routes from this neighbor. is there any way to reduce the time it takes to handle the updates? if i wanted to test this behavior in my lab, what would i want to watch? (logs/traceoptions) i don't think I've seen this behavior during scheduled maintenance- for

Are you sure? Ive never seen an update to remove routes take 3min. Andy, are you sure the 3min outage was after the link hard down and not just prior? Guessing this is easy to find due to time stamps. Ive seen this due to line protocol down and everything blackholes until bgp fails but never
