[AusNOG] Microtik bgp issues

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

I take two full feeds currently on a CCR1009, and haven't had much in the
way of problems with it - the sessions 'just work'.  It's definitely not
fast, especially if you have a few filters applied  - my primary feed takes
~2 minutes to process all the routes when the session comes up which isn't
too bad.  The secondary feed, which I apply three rules to, to set
localprefs depending on 1, 2, or more hops out on the provider, takes ~20
minutes to fully process the routes when it comes up.

If you don't already have your syslog pointing at logstash or pagerduty,
I'd suggest it heavily - makes it SO much easier to see what's going on!
Though even the local syslog should let you see what's going on, as BGP
will throw an error to logs each time a connection to the remote end fails

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
