Hi, Robert:

For BGP next-hop tracking, it will help when the BGP next-hop is unreachable. 
But in our situation, the BGP next-hop is reachable, but should pass another 
ABR.

Then, in such situation, the mechanism of BGP next-hop tracking will not take 
effect?

And thanks for your draft information, maybe we can refer to it later J

 

Best Regards

Hi Aijun,

[WAJ] If necessary, we can advertise the MAX_T_PUA(configurable time for the 
hold of PUA information on the nodes) among the area.

If one node connect to the network after the disappearance of the PUA 
destination,  there will be no services can be established/run on these failure 
node/link prefix. 

It’s the same as the beginning, as not all of the prefixes can be reachable 
within the summary address.

When this is accomplished the PUA can indeed time out with no harm. 

 

Said this - now considering tools like next hop tracking which can trigger 
withdraw or aggregated withdraw(*) proposal in src area I am  really curious 
how much (if anything) we would be gaining here. 

 

(*) The original proposal for this was written over 15 years ago: 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-raszuk-aggr-withdraw-00  We could extend it 
with next hop which would be the same as IGP PUA prefix. 

 

Kind regards,
Robert
