Hi, We have an internet router setup where we have a few customer connections, and hundreds of peering sessions.
A lot of CPU time is wasted running the export filters over the entire internet routing table per peer, in order to find the relatively few prefixes to actually export. I know we could try to work around it, by having a complicated system of tables and pipes, like one table per peer per family. However I would prefer to keep things simple, so if I could just keep a small table containing the few prefixes that are likely to match the export filter, and use that as export table, while still importing prefixes from peers into the master table. Since BGP already has "(import|export) table <switch>", then maybe "table [import|export] <table>" could work. Before I try to implement this, are there any support/comments/ objections to this approach? -- Best regards Asbjørn Sloth Tønnesen
