ICMP works fine.

It is same on JUniper end. Sending keepalives but cannot receive

Hello,

Maybe a mtu issue causing updates to be dropped?

For a quick check disable bgp path mtu discovery so that the bgp mss falls back to 536 bytes:

router bgp x

no bgp transport path-mtu-discovery

Hi ,

 

I faced a similar issue. My ISP upgraded their Junos router OS and the bgp peering was not coming up. They did shut -unshut and session clearing but to no avail. But when we re-configured BGP on our Cisco 7609 for the VRF neighbor peering came up. So want to know what could be the reason for this.

 

Any help or suggestion welcome.
