We have two test setups. One actually includes real peers, none sending a full table though. The other one is a setup in our lab, with various routers we could find, which only send a couple of routes to each other. We have seen this happening if the peer we 'clear' announces at least one prefix to the route server, so there is actually something to update. The behavior is different in the two setups though. With the real peers: multiple sessions go Idle upon 'clearing' one session and the broken UPDATE that gets send out with that, but they all come up again after a while. In the lab: the Idle sessions never come up completely, because the broken UPDATE seems to be send out repeatedly, causing the peer to go back to Idle immediately every time we reach an Established state.

Once we get any conclusive results from this we will get back to you. Thanks a lot for your help! Regards Elisa -- Elisa Jasinska - AMS-IX NOC http://www.ams-ix.net/
