Chapter 4 Configuring Multiprotocol Label Switching

BGP Multipath Load Sharing for eBGP and iBGP in an MPLS VPN

The IGP Convergence Acceleration feature leverages the load balance infrastructure of equal paths for
unequal paths. An indirection object is inserted for table output chain building. When the interface goes
down, the routing protocols purge their routes and the inplace modifier prevents marking of labels with
incomplete adjacency. Therefore, the indirection object can use the new adjacency labels. This update in
the IGP Convergence Acceleration feature makes the convergence independent of the number of BGP
prefixes, thereby allowing a faster failover.

Configuring IGP Convergence Acceleration

To configure the IGP Convergence Acceleration feature for unequal cost paths, enter the following
commands beginning in global configuration mode:

Configuring BGP Multipath Load Sharing for eBGP and iBGP in an MPLS
VPN

To configure the BGP Multipath Load Sharing for Both eBGP and iBGP in an MPLS VPN feature,
perform the following configuration tasks:

Verifying Multipath Load Sharing for eBGP and iBGP, page 4-5

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# cef table output-chain

build favor convergence-speed

Enables the output chain building to favor convergence.

Step 2

Router(config)# cef table output-chain

build inplace-modify load-sharing

Enables the output chain building for inplace-modify.

Step 3

Router(config)# ip routing protocol purge

interface

Allows the routing protocol to purge routes without letting RIB
delete BGP prefixes.
