The aggregate address minimum contributors feature adds the capability to specify a minimum number of contributor routes that must be present and advertisable in order for the BGP speaker to generate the route for the aggregate address.

ARP is a protocol that resolves an IPv4 neighbor address to a MAC address while IPv6 Neighbor Discovery is similar

RFC4191 describes an optional extension to Router Advertisement messages for communicating default router

ARP and IPv6 Neighbor Discovery use a neighbor cache to store neighbor address resolutions. The capacity of the neighbor cache is determined by the resources and capabilities of the device platform. The neighbor cache capacity feature adds a means to specify a per-interface capacity for the neighbor cache. A neighboring device, through misconfiguration or maliciousness, can unfairly use a large number of address resolutions. This feature can help to mitigate this over-utilization.

Unequal Cost Multi Path (UCMP) is a mechanism for forwarding traffic for an ECMP route by using a ratio of weights

The IPv6 Neighbor Discovery protocol performs Neighbor Unreachability Detection (NUD) in order to determine if two
