Hi. I don't have an answer to your question, but a thought about dampening.

BGP dampening is no longer regarded as "a good thing", but something to turn off. In fact the Cisco BCP is to disable dampening. Here are some arguments against dampening: * Today's routers' performance can easily cope with route flaps. * RFD implementations may differ in RFD parameter values. This inconsistency may result in inconsistent path selection. * Modality of route advertisement may differ. Some implementations pass on the update without waiting at all, others wait for 30 seconds, etc. This will likely result in a different best-path offering to neighbors as message updates arrive. -- Pelle _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
