With this feature, these two BGP agents do not start up until BGP configuration is created with “router bgp <asn>”.

The BGP-LS extension allows IGPs (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. The mechanism used by the controller to communicate the computed TE paths is outside the scope of this document. Using BGP-LS instead of an IGP peering with the controller to distribute IGP link state information has the following advantages.

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

In single-active mode, the designated forwarder (DF) is responsible for sending and receiving all traffic. In all-active mode, the DF is only used to determine whether broadcast, unknown
