[j-nsp] Too much packet loss during switchover on MPLS network

Mon Mar 14 16:04:53 EDT 2011

Hi,

Which version and HW do you use ? 

Did you monitor forwarding database on each PE to check if there is any change (MAC address refresh) after your 41 sec of outage ?

Did you experience the same issue when your primary LSP comes up (and after the revert timout) ? 

Regards
David

Hi,

Actually customer BGP session is always up. I requested them to ping from different servers to the same destination when i shut the interface down.All of them had no reachability to the remote destinations.
Could it be possible to fix it with BFD?

Thanks,
Gokhan
