A study on community-triggered updates in BGP

Thomas,

I confirmed your case and took a look at the code.
The outbound duplicate suppression function tries to detect
duplicates without actually storing or recreating the
previously sent update, so it misses some cases.

Your use case is a good one. We will check to see if we can
detect it without compromising significantly on resource usage.
Thank you for raising the issue.

Regards,
Jakob.

Hi Thomas,

We had a similar discussion on FRR slack, there are some duplicates indeed.
Are you planing to test FRR at some point in time?

Cheers,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

We have tested FRR (v6.0.2) indeed and found that duplicates are not
suppressed by default.

We will publish more detailed results and configurations on the website
soon.

Thomas
