Agreed.
I think as a practical matter, the large majority of operators probably
only care about time from last update / EoRIB -> FIBs forwarding working.
As long as that time delta is acceptable for their environment and
circumstances, that's 'good enough'. Definitely some edge cases and

I feel like this shouldn't be listed on a data sheet for just the
whitebox hardware. The software running on it would be the gating
factor.
There would be two things ... BGP convergence, and then the time
required to get routes from the RIB into the hardware forwarding tables.

Also, BGP convergence isn't listed (nor do I rarely ever see it talked about in
such sheets).

I feel like this shouldn't be listed on a data sheet for just the whitebox
hardware. The software running on it would be the gating factor.

I'm surprised they stopped showing those options in the datasheet. They
used to have those in the spec sheet when I bought Edgecore hardware
some years ago. Seems like you will have to contact sales teams.
If it can help, I use AS5916-XKS and the TCAM supports millions of routes.
Out of my mind, i
