BGP PIC Considerations

Note the following considerations for this feature.

BGP PIC is supported for IPv4 and IPv6 address families. It is not supported for Layer 3 VPN, EVPN, or IP over MPLS (IPoMPLS).
BGP PIC is disabled by default.
BGP PIC is applicable across all VRFs and supported address families.
Use cases for PIC core and PIC edge are supported.
PIC is supported on devices based on the Broadcom Extreme 8820, SLX 9740, SLX 9640, and SLX 9540.
PIC and high availability (HA) are supported. BGP graceful restart must be configured for PIC HA to work.
BGP PIC is compatible with Optiscale profiles.
As a best practice, use the profile route maximum-paths configuration command to reduce the default ECMP value from 64 to either 8 or 16.
