Hi Will,

I know of many IXPs utilising Multi-Chassis LAGs.

Best regards,
Thomas

Maintenance through BGP Session Culling

Our suggestion for handling LAGs looks like this: Typically, a minimum
number of port members can be defined for a LAG being up. The LAG is
not touched by BGP Session Culling during a maintenance unless this
number is undercut. If the number if undercut the LAG is handled by
BGP Session Culling as defined in the Internet Draft.

If no value for the minimum number of active port members is defined
for a LAG, the value 1 should be used as this is the behaviour of LAGs
today already.

Is this in context of multi-chassis LAG?

I think if we include anything about LAGs we should make it very clear that you 
must apply the culling ACL to either all ports of a LAG or none. Applying it to 
half of an MCLAG could be disastrous.

I didn’t realise there were IXPs using MC-LAG. Discovering this maybe surprise 
some members.
