fib optimize => using LPM table for LEM https://www.arista.com/en/um-eos/eos-section-28-11-ipv4-commands#ww1173031 FIB compression => install only 1 entry into FIB for compressable routes with shared nexthop https://eos.arista.com/eos-4-21-3f/fib-compression/ The feature itself works as intended. version/platform/config compatibility needs some considerations.
