This problem has already been addressed in extensions to BGP and BGP
   for MPLS, in a mechanism known as "graceful restart" [Re05][Sa04].
...
   [Re05]    Rekhter, Y., R. Aggarwal, "Graceful Restart Mechanism for
             BGP with MPLS," draft-ietf-mpls-bgp-mpls-restart-05, (work
             in progress), Aug. 2005.

   [Sa04]    Sangli, S., Y. Rekhter, R. Fernando, J. Scudder, E. Chen,
             "Graceful Restart Mechanism for BGP," draft-ietf-idr-
             restart-10 (work in progress), June 2004.

The latter was an unfortunately old reference; there was a -11 version
issued in May 2006, and a new version issued just 2 days ago:

draft-ietf-idr-restart-12 	Graceful Restart Mechanism for BGP 	 Srihari
Sangli 	idr 	12-Jun-06

I encourage you to visit the IDR WG and ask them this question. Also
OSPF as per below, if of interest.

Some others missed in the first version of the draft (it was a -00 ;-):

RFC3623 Graceful OSPF Restart  	J. Moy, P. Pillay-Esnault, A. Lindem
