would like to know, what causes the BGP to flap frequently? my physical interface shows UP. will there be any configuration issue with BGP attributes?

Hi VKSP:
You could run an IPSLA and see how often you loose connectivity to your WAN peer IP. (google it) If the frequency of the flaps keep incrementing, eventually BGP will dampen your networks and won't get advertised upstream by your ISP. If it is a physical layer issue, your Service Provider should be able to do a Layer 1 test and verify where in the path lies the issue.
Cheers,
BP

have you checked layer 1? i would check layer 1 first instead of looking at BGP
