BGP memory utilization ASR9K

[Jantao]

Hi all!

I'm serching the way to reduce bgp process memory utilization. Initially i used "soft-reconfiguration inbound always" within all neighbors on my router. For now i configured "soft-reconfiguration inbound" to use bgp route-refresh when it's possible. But i see no notable difference in bgp memory utilization. Still see soft reconfig entries:

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:ASR9K#sh bgp all all process performance-statistics det | i Soft
Fri Aug 23 12:51:36.543 MSK
Soft Reconfig Entries: 0
Soft Reconfig Entries: 23151618
Soft Reconfig Entries: 5148700

Is there any way to clear adj-RIB table without restarting bgp process? Thank you.

Hi,

You must hard reset the BGP session to have effect.

I already tried to hard reset several sessions with FULL BGP table, but it seems has no effect in terms of "Soft Reconfig Entries".
I did shutdown for several sessions just now, Soft Reconfig Entries counter has no change.

Better to use bgp route refresh instead of soft reconfiguration.
