The BGP Prefix Independent Convergence (PIC Edge) is an existing feature that was first introduced in EOS 4.15.0F.

BGP Prefix Independent Convergence (PIC Edge) refers to fast re-convergence of traffic destined for BGP prefixes on a network event affecting the best path(s) such that the time taken to switch traffic from the active best path(s) to the next best path (i.e. backup path) is independent of the number of prefixes. The above behavior is achieved by pre-programming the best path and alternate backup path in the forwarding agent in steady state.
