The feature adds cross-VRF support for dynamic prefix-list.
Dynamic prefix-list policy construct is similar to the traditional IP and IPv6 prefix-list, except that they have an additional state associated. This state associated with the dynamic prefix-lists, is determined on the basis of the route entries in FIB, and hence as and when the FIB changes, the state also changes dynamically. This state determines the dynamic prefix-list behavior, when used in route-map/RCF match clauses or route injection.

Routing control functions (RCF) is a new language, a different way of policy definition and application in a programmatic fashion (https://www.arista.com/en/support/toi/eos-4-27-2f/15102-routing-control-functions-language-and-configuration). EOS Application Programmable Interface (eAPI) is another means whereby commands are sent to the switch (i.e. aside from the switch’s command-line interface - CLI which has been the norm), which can be executed through various methods like web interface, shell or a program/script.

This feature introduces a way for IS-IS to advertise its IP reachability and SID for loopback interfaces only when routes matching an RCF function are present. One example use-case is to use IS-IS Segment Routing to attract traffic to a router only when routes towards the ultimate destination are present. The RCF function is matched against winning routes in the Unicast RIB (seen with 'show rib route …').

This document describes a new CLI command to help debug how and why policy permits and denies paths. The aim of this CLI command is for the user to debug a route map or RCF (Routing Control Functions) function by specifying as input a prefix for which BGP has reachability for, either via a BGP peer or a redistribute source.

This feature gives users the ability to use Route Control Functions (RCFs) to create custom policies for deciding which routes with IP next-hops should be programmed into the kernel with fwd* next-hop devices so the associated kernel packets are inserted into the ingress pipeline of hardware forwarding instead of being software-forwarded by the kernel.

In EOS-4.31.2F ipv6 link-local next-hops can now be configured in BGP through RCF (Routing Control Functions). On the advertising BGP agent an ipv6 link-local next-hop is configured on the outbound policy function. The receiving BGP agent reads this link-local next-hop and automatically assigns the interface from which the BGP path was sent.
