Specifying the source interface for establishing TCP connections

Page 242 highlights

Specifying the source interface for establishing TCP connections IPv6 BGP uses TCP as the transport layer protocol. By default, IPv6 BGP uses the output interface of the optimal route to a peer or peer group as the source interface for establishing TCP connections to the peer or peer group. If an IPv6 BGP router has multiple links to a peer, and the source interface fails, IPv6 BGP has to reestablish TCP connections, causing network oscillation. To enhance stability of IPv6 BGP connections, HP recommends using a loopback interface as the source interface. To establish a BGP connection, specify on the local router the source interface for establishing the TCP connection to the peer on the peering BGP router. Otherwise, the local BGP router may fail to establish TCP connection to the peer when using the outbound interface of the best route as the source interface. To specify the source interface for establishing TCP connections to a BGP peer or peer group: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter BGP view. 3. Enter IPv6 address family view. 4.

Specifying the source interface for establishing TCP
connections
IPv6 BGP uses TCP as the transport layer protocol. By default, IPv6 BGP uses the output interface of the
optimal route to a peer or peer group as the source interface for establishing TCP connections to the peer
or peer group.
If an IPv6 BGP router has multiple links to a peer, and the source interface fails, IPv6 BGP has to
reestablish TCP connections, causing network oscillation. To enhance stability of IPv6 BGP connections,
HP recommends using a loopback interface as the source interface.
To establish a BGP connection, specify on the local router the source interface for establishing the TCP
connection to the peer on the peering BGP router. Otherwise, the local BGP router may fail to establish
TCP connection to the peer when using the outbound interface of the best route as the source interface.

By default, IPv6 BGP uses the
outbound interface of the best
route to the IPv6 BGP peer or peer
group as the source interface for
establishing a TCP connection.
Allowing the establishment of an indirect EBGP connection
Direct links must be available between EBGP peers. If not, you can use the
peer ebgp-max-hop
command to establish a multi-hop TCP connection in between. However, do not use this command for
direct EBGP connections with loopback interfaces.
To allow the establishment of a non-direct EBGP connection:
