In my experience there will always be some dampening, flapping, etc.. No matter how perfect you perform this operation there are always minor little things that go wrong as well as updates that make it across the network just a *little* faster than one expected. As long as you "flap" once, you should not see any real issues. There is always someone behind a slow router running bgp and the network that has an overly aggressive dampening policy that you will have issues with. But that will be such a small subset of the internet that you are connected to (most likely) that there will be no real visible problems. at least none that don't go away in at most 5-10 mins. - jared On Thu, Oct 25, 2001 at 07:00:20PM -0400, German Martinez wrote:

Some? Which networks are propogating routes that they aren't using?
There are boxes *able* to export routes, not *active* in the routing table and that match an export policy.
