ExaBGP 4.x - large config file

[Vladimir Troitskiy]

Hello,

I would like to use the current version of ExaBGP for large amount of prefixes (50k).

Is "Large Configuration File" article (https://github.com/Exa-Networks/exabgp/wiki/Large-Configuration-File) still actual or something has been changed in ExaBGP 4.x?

Should I use a workaround with 'announce attributes ... nlri [prefix list]'?

Hello Vladimir,

50k routes will take ages to process so the start time of ExaBGP will be long but it should work.

Using announce attributes would surely get the session fully up faster.

Some people have reported that 4.x is not as good at handling large number of routes as 3.4 - I am still unsure why.
