I'd be interested in hearing if people set a hostname on their BGP routers and send it to peers (internal and/or external).

I'm also interested in hearing if you see external peers sending it to you.

I know BIRD and FRR support this capability, but I"m not aware of others and I'm guessing it is relatively rare in practice?

There might be some corner cases where it makes sense, but if you're trying to bring up a BGP router on the Internet and it can't reach DNS until it's online you're going to have some issues. -- Jay Hennigan - jay@west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
