I have absolutely no explanation for it and it occurred on two separate Vyatta boxes that take multiple full BGP feeds.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It caused the BGP Daemon to kill all of our Upstream & Downstream sessions simultaneously and then magically 40 or so minutes later after a restart of the daemon and one of the physical boxes not fixing the problem, it just fixed itself and the issue completely disappeared with everything running fine for an hour and a half now after the problem.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have seen this issue previously with malformed communities or 4 Byte AS Numbers but there are no known bugs I am aware of that would explain a similar issue this evening.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>During the issue BGPd would not respond to any commands on the CLI yet the CPU on our boxes was 0.01, the only unusual symptom is of course, complete traffic loss with no explanation. All peers impacted were spread over multiple routers in multiple locations and multiple NIC’s.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks All;<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nathan<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
