We're not that desperate to monitor BGP flaps to install a router, and even, that's not a counter, is it?
Sounds like there's no nice option to measure instability.

Sadly i don't think there's a flap counter you can poll. adam. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
