Yeah, I think it makes sense to add such knob to provide fine granularity control. Let me know if you have proposal for this.

Hi Qin,

“Regarding bgp-max-prefix, I personal feel it is different from maximum-routes which is applicable to all protocols while bgp max prefix is bgp specific, threshold and action parameters only tie with bgp maximum prefix parameter.”

I agree with your comment. Additionally, maybe a more interesting question is if we want to set these parameters per neighbor, per PE-node or per VPN/VRF. I would think that we should have then generic per VRF/PE as part of the profiles but having the option to overwrite per neighbor. One example is a headquarter vs a branch…you may not want to set the same prefix-limits to them.

Regards,
Roque

Hi, All:
We have been discussion additional BGP parameters such as L3VPN BGP threshold and BGP session parameters, which is corresponding to issue ticket #34 and #35 on L3NM model,
And would like to have the following proposed change to L3NM model to resolve pending issue tickets:
