[nsp] whats bgp scan all about

[Kinczli Zoltán]

Hello,

  if i'm not wrong, it scans the bgp RT for invalid -- inaccessible -- next hops. As the BGP decision 'flow' says: if the next hop is inaccessible, do not consider it.

  it runs per minute

but someone from cisco might correct me

Hi,
 excuse my ignorance of the detail of the BGP code.. anyone know, what does the
BGP scanner process do - surely the routing table is altered on a trigger basis
and not when this scanner runs and checks everything which is what the only
document i found suggests?

Can it be disabled? It seems possible to change the interval but only to reduce
it from 1 minute.

Thanks!

Steve
