Tips of BGP Convergence

1. tweak BGP timers (Hello, Advert, Scan)

2. rely on IGP (fine tune IGP first)

bgp fast-external-fallover (default enable for eBGP)

bgp nexthop trigger delay delay-timer (seconds)

3. enable BFD
neighbor 1.1.1.1 fall-over bfd

4. allow multiple paths in BGP
a) using different RD (MP-BGP)
b) different RRs has different perference for a prefix
c) BGP The “Add Paths” capability
