Speaking of, I had been wondering for some time where folks are using 
soft-reconfig inbound, vs relying on soft-refresh from neighbors.

If anyone is using it, mind sharing where and motivates it?

CSCsz23108 Bug Details
Applying BGP soft-configuration router crashes after 300k prefixes

Symptom:

When applying soft-configuration inbound to IPv4 family within BGP. The 
router can crash after receiving 300,000 prefixes. If the 
soft-configuration is not present, the router is stable.

The short answer is that we need to turn off soft-reconfig in our network.
