Abstract
The hard reset of all the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peers on a particular router leads to increased route churn. Accordingly, the present disclosure includes a new mechanism where a BGP speaker will stop processing the Route paths for Best Path calculation and Update/withdraw generation during a hard reset. The BGP speaker will remain in this special state until the End of Routing Information Base (EOR) (implicit/explicit) is received from all the peers. This also includes an approach to leverage the Read-only mode while waiting for all peers to come UP. The optimization improves convergence time and thus will result in less traffic impact.
