If you see anything missing that you need, don't hesitate to RFE it. Our
BGP implementation is based on the RFCs and on conversations with users
and the beta and field trial people. So if there is demand for additional
features we welcome the feedback - that's how we improve.
>dampening is another major one that springs to mind. I don't know much
We do some basic dampening, but the major flapping suppression as in Ciscos
was deliberately left out. I had a conversation with the engineer who
coded it back a ways. Basically hard core dampening like that is good for
backbone routers, but not good on leaf routers. Since the backbone will
handle the suppression it is overkill to do it on the end nodes. And it
also takes longer for routes to restablish when all of the routers have
suppressed a route.
We don't have delusions of being a core, backbone router - yet. :-)
