Stale routes are learned routes from adjacent BGP neighbors whose neighborship has been interrupted by session instability. This feature adds a mechanism to specify a stale policy route-map for which the stale routes from a gracefully restarting, or depending on the configuration of the feature, a non-gracefully restarting BGP peer will be processed.

The BGP-LS extension to be obsoleted allows IGP (OSPF/IS-IS) link state database information to be injected into BGP. This is typically used in deployments where some external component, (like a controller or Path Computation Engine) can do centralized path computations by learning the entire IGP topology through BGP-LS. The controller can then communicate the computed paths based on the BGP-LS updates to the head end device in the network.

Route reflectors are commonly used to distribute routes between BGP peers belonging to the same autonomous system. However, this can lead to non-optimal path selection. The reason for this is that the route reflector chooses the optimal route based on IGP cost from its perspective. This may not be optimal from the perspective of the client as its location may be different from the RR

It is beneficial to indicate this connectivity loss to these CE devices so that they may find alternative paths to forward traffic.

However, research has shown many concerns that the TCP MD5 algorithm is cryptographically ineffective with a just simple keyed hash for authentication.
