Dear Concern,
After installing BIRD, I made iBGP neighbor with 8 routers. From a non-client neighbor it should receive about 106362 prefixes but I found it is taking huge time to process and converge the mentioned prefixes. It took about 35 minutes to process, converge and advertise prefixes to other neighbors. Is it normal behavior or am I missing sometime to make faster convergence? Kindly suggest me.
Hi That is definitely not a normal behavior. Especially if you have no filters, it should be orders of magnitude faster. You wrote you receive 106k prefixes from the non-client, do you also receive prefixes from clients? Are you sure that BIRD was working full-time (full single core cpu load) during that 35 minutes? If you monitor number of received routes during that time (using 'show route count table vpntab4' or 'show protocols all <non_client_neighbor>'), you can see if all these prefixes are already here or if they arrive continuously dyring that time. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
