Hi Blake,


for outbound prefixes, i am using prefix-list filter which is identical at
my side and UP Link side.
for inbound prefixes , i have set max-prefix at maximum value because i am
receiving full BGP table from my UP Link.
entities of prefix-list has configured in this form x.x.x.x/y le 24, it
might be many prefixes are passed within this range.
But this issue is happen sometime, really strange.
