Hi Jamil,

they could be many... few of them could be

- link instability

- misconfiguration

- mistmatching limit of the max allowed number prefixes in the updates

- IGP issues that will propagate in their synchronization with BGP their flapping status

- too short timers (indeed BGP has been designed to have a slow convergence) 

If it is a customer of yours flapping , you can use/configure dampening in your BGP process otherwise you can summarise your prefixes as workaround to this issue.
