Sander,

How big? How slow?
You can reply to me off or on list.

About 8 to 10 years ago, we had a large effort to improve this.
Now customers push many megabytes of prefix-sets several times a day and it 
works.
I have sent some questions internally to get a better answer.

Related, in 7.2.1, we added the as-set, which allows you to filter BGP routes 
by origin-as.
It is similar to as-path-set.
as-path-set is slow, using a linear lookup, but it is versatile, allowing 
ios-regex.
as-set can only use numbers and only for origin-as, but it is fast using a 
log(N) lookup.

Regards,
Jakob.

Hi,

What is the best/most efficient/most convenient way to push large prefix lists 
or sets to an XR router for BGP prefix filtering? Pushing thousands of lines 
through the CLI seems foolish, I tried using the load command but it seems 
horribly slow. What am I missing? :)

Cheers!
Sander
