Dear all,

Does anyone know what is the maximum datagram a Cisco MP-iBGP peer can send
to a neighbor ?

I checked in many Cisco sources, but i could not get a precise response. RFC
1771 says that the maximum datagram size should be 4096 bytes. Also, i found
in "sh ip bgp neighbor" output the following line: "Datagrams (max data
segment is 536 bytes)". And this message appeared in other code versions.
Can i consider this value as the maximum datagram size in Cisco´s
implementation ?

Regards,
