This feature stores events describing changes to IS-IS IP routes into a SQL. These events are intended to be used to debug convergence issues and understand the impact changes elsewhere in the network have on an EOS device. When an IS-IS IP route changes due to an IS-IS SPF calculation and this feature is enabled, the feature tracks the time the route change is reflected at various "layers" of the route processing pipeline.

Creating Traffic Policies that regulate control plane traffic from BGP peers by writing the list of BGP peer addresses statically in a field-set is error prone and difficult to update. Selecting only internal or external peers requires additional care. This feature automatically populates a field-set with IPv4 or IPv6 prefixes corresponding to iBGP or eBGP peers. This can be used instead of “protocol neighbors bgp” (see "Support for CPU traffic policy" ) where only a particular peer type is needed, or to replace complicated manual field-set updates.
