Hello there,
I'm trying to track down the timer which triggers the event to send a BGP update to a peer when configuration has changed for example a route-map configured on a neighbor.
When doing a debug on a router running BGP it appears that once this "Policy content change timer " timer expires a route refresh is kicked off to affected neighbors to push updated routing information.
This timer happens at a different schedule to that of the BGP scan timer.
Nov 29 21:11:41.211: BGP: TX IPv4 Unicast Grp global 23 Policy content change timer expired.
*Nov 29 21:11:41.215: BGP: TX IPv4 Unicast Mem global 23 1 200.200.200.2 Full refresh requested.
*Nov 29 21:11:41.219: BGP: TX IPv4 Unicast Mem global 23 1 200.200.200.2 Refresh has to wait for net prepend.
Can anyone clarify what this timer is and its details? I can't find any information on it.
Cheers,
