This document describes BFD RFC7130 mode on EOS. RFC7130 defines a mechanism to run BFD protocol over port channels with an independent asynchronous BFD session on every port channel member link. With RFC7130 support, the port channel member link will be removed from forwarding if the BFD session state transitions from UP to DOWN on the member link. This is useful for quickly detecting failures where L1 stays connected but the interface is unable to forward traffic.

Hardware Table Capacity Monitoring is a new feature to keep track of the capacity and utilization of various hardware forwarding resources and generate alerts/syslogs when the utilization exceeds a threshold value. Users can keep track of the current usage statistics using a single show command, and also configure thresholds on a per-resource basis, to be notified about any high-utilization upfront, before reaching any resource limits. The Main use-case would be for troubleshooting in overflow situations and avoid overflows altogether by taking corrective actions on high utilization.

All the entries that are in the file are added to the as-path access-list being configured. This feature gives the advantage of using one EOS CLI command to configure many as-path access-list entries, instead of adding each one of them line by line in the CLI.
