Implement BGP with Dell EMC Networking OS

The following sections describe how to implement BGP on Dell EMC Networking OS.

Additional Path (Add-Path) Support

The add-path feature reduces convergence times by advertising multiple paths to its peers for the same address prefix without replacing existing paths with new ones. By default, a BGP speaker advertises only the best path to its peers for a given address prefix. If the best path becomes unavailable, the BGP speaker withdraws its path from its local RIB and recalculates a new best path. This situation requires both IGP and BGP convergence and can be a lengthy process. BGP add-path also helps switchover to the next new best path when the current best path is unavailable.
