This feature adds support for user-configured BGP Nexthop Resolution RIB profiles for various BGP-based services e.g. IP unicast, L3 VPN, EVPN, etc. The feature allows an administrator to customize the next hop resolution semantics of BGP routes with an ordered list, or profile, of resolution RIB domains (i.e., either tunnel or IP domain). This allows EOS to direct specific services over the specified RIB domains, overriding the default behavior.

This feature introduces hardware forwarding support for IPv4 over IPv4 GRE tunnel interfaces on selected Arista

This feature introduces hardware forwarding support for IPv4-over-IPv4 GRE tunnel interfaces on selected Arista

This feature when configured enables users to rewrite the DSCP of the GUE encapsulated header on IP-over-UDP tunnels while preserving the TOS value of the inner IP ( IPv4 / IPv6 ) payload. Starting from software version 4.34.1F, the CLI configuration to enable or disable DSCP preserve globally on the egress interface introduces a clear distinction in the behavior of GUE encapsulation on the core facing interface of the IP-over-UDP tunnels.

This feature allows transport of multicast frames to an endpoint across an IP network by tunneling them through MPLSoGRE or MPLSoGUE. The tunneling of multicast frames is achieved with a traffic policy applied on the ingress interface which will match on all packets destined to a multicast IP address and redirect that traffic to a MoG nexthop group. The traffic policy will also specify “forced routing” in order to set the fwd_layer_index to 1 so that the L2 header is removed before encapsulation.

LSPs formed by LDP normally follow IGP routing. The LDP speaker selects the downstream LSR for a particular prefix as

At a transit router when multiple LSP are available for a given destination from different protocols EOS does stitching based on hard coded preferences. LFIB stitching preferences give a provision to stitch together different LSPs based on configurable preferences. For each protocol(destination) preference can be configured for a given source protocol.

This feature allows configuring user defined tunnel RIBs for the resolution of LDP pseudowire endpoints. User

PIM Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) is a mechanism that allows the multicast routers to send the PIM control packets to the upstream routers via the shortest path to form the RP/Source Tree.
