BGP NLRI / how much prefixes can be sent


the question is about BGP update messages, namely about the maximal amount of prefixes which can be places in an NLRI.


Solution

  • No limit, other than the limit on the maximum size BGP Message. You can, in principle, mix withdrawn and reachable NLRI, and withdrawn/reachable NLRI for different AFI/SAFI... but I would not recommend it.
