This disclosure describes techniques to reduce traffic loss for a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) session by delaying re-advertisement of routes received from a newly re-established multi-homed router by a primary router until all the routes are installed in a forwarding plane of the primary router. The techniques of this disclosure make use of a BGP marker received from the multi-homed router that indicates the end of a route download for an address family. Upon receiving the BGP marker, a control plane of the primary router requests a route acknowledgement message (Route-ACK) from the forwarding plane for only the last route of the address family received before the BGP marker. When the control plane receives the Route-ACK indicating that the last route has been installed in the forwarding plane, the primary router initiates re-advertisement of the routes to other BGP peer routers. |
