Hello,
I have setup OpenBGP doing full routing with 3 other peers, so I get
around 240k routes from each peer. But if by some reason I have to
restar bgpd, it takes up to 5 minutes so I can all routes updated
again.
Is there a way to save and later restore the RIB/FIB tables?
Since the only problem on commodity hardware are the mobile parts, I
am also settig up a SPARE router with carp, so if one gets down, the
spare will assume. But resync'ing the tables is again, reason for a
higher downtime. So if I could save the tables in a machine and
restore it on the other, would be great.
Can I do this?
If you search back the mailing list archive, you'll find some setups
i've proposed, which do exactly that - CARPed BGPs with no downtime for
full BGP refresh.
About your idea - saving / restoring routes - the very prime idea of BGP
is just that - to NOT save routes, and to distribute them.
Kind regards,
Doichin
