This document recommends adjusting a few RFD algorithmic constants and limits in order to reduce the high risks with RFD.

Abstract. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the de facto inter-domain rout- ing protocol of the Internet, is known to be noisy. The protocol has two main.

The protocol has two main mechanisms to ameliorate this, MinRouteAdvertisementInterval (MRAI), and Route Flap Damping (RFD). MRAI deals with very short bursts ...

RFD has been turned off due to serious problem of excessive dampening. ▫ MRAI timers practically turned off due to FC requirements.

Route Flap Damping (RFD) was first proposed to reduce BGP churn in routers. Unfortunately, RFD was found to severely penalize sites for being well connected ...

Route flap dampening is a technique that enables network administrators to stabilize the network routes in case a router flaps. This technique works by ...

Jan 7, 2013 · Route Flap Damping (RFD) [1] is a mechanism for BGP speaking routers that penalises prefixes that exhibit a large number of updates ('flapping') ...
