BGP PIC Considerations
- 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.
