Question:

1) Can I turn off (disable) "BGP general scanning" (command 'bgp 
scan-time <5-60>') ? Is this a good idea in my case ?


That seems unlikely to be a good idea.


Thank you Alex.

But can this idea be realized at all? Just by default, bgp-scan occurs 
every minute and it can only be changed by specifying the interval from 
5 - 60 seconds. And it seems that it's impossible to turn off this 
feature at all?





2) Can I perform "BGP general scanning" on a specific processor core, 
not chaotic ?


IIRC, bgpd is entirely single-threaded. It should be trivial to bind
it to a single core using taskset on Linux (or the equivalent, on
another OS). You can do this while it's running, or you can start it
that way - modify the rc file that starts quagga & bgpd (or whatever
you're using to get it started on boot).

This release contains a number of fixes, including potentially 
important BGP security fixes.


Note, with these fixes + some modifications to return early before 
getting into BGP RIB code, the bgpd BGP protocol parsers have so far 
survived about a month of fuzz testing (guided, direct call based via 
afl-fuzz, not network).

[quagga-users 14928] Disable BGP general scanning, BGP SCAN-TIMER

2018-02-15 Thread bg

Hi all

I have such a question.

quagga-0.99.23.1, 4 bgp-peers, no IGP, only static, 4 core processor, 
all NIC's interrupts are evenly distributed between processor cores - 
all loads are defined and distributed between processor cores :)


  State/PfxRcd
137326
682774
85433
686579

But once every minute for about 3-10 seconds there is a "BGP general 
scanning", which is arbitrarily executed on any of the processor cores 
and loads it 100% within a specified time.
