Hi, Randy:

when given a new configuration, does not thrash all your bgp sessions etc., but slides smoothly to the new state.

We have fixed several bugs related to several BGP commands that would cause unnecessary reset of BGP sessions. If you find any new bugs in this area, please let us know and we will fix them. Thanks. -- Enke

for two+ years, i have been asking cisco for a simple text-based tool that can take two configs and generate the command set to get from the first to the second. i.e. a semantic differ.

as syntax (and occasionally semantics) changes release to release, a version of the code would have to come with each image set.

note that this would go a way to compete with the really nice behavior of gated-like systems, e.g. juniper, which, when given a new configuration, does not thrash all your bgp sessions etc., but slides smoothly to the new state.
