Re: BGP Graceful restart - RFC 4724

Tauseef, please see below.

1. No need for community strings. BGP graceful restart capability will be exchanged between BGP peers during the OPEN phase of the neighborship exchange. This is enable under the BGP process peer statements.

2. When a peer sees a neighbor reset , it will hold all of the routes from that peer but will mark them as STALE. When the peer comes back online it will again exchange the BgP graceful restart flag and this peer will exchange routes with one another an it will update its routing table .
