Re: [dev] Supporting Graceful Restart for more SAFIs (e.g. EVPN)
by Donald Sharp 14 Dec '24

As I recall from the discussion during the time GR and EVPN was added was that there was uncertainty about behaviors and what we had time for in relation to testing. So it was not added. From my perspective I would love to have someone work on this bit of code. I would like though the addition of a topotest to show that it actually works.

Supporting Graceful Restart for more SAFIs (e.g. EVPN)
by Lukas Stockner 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Hi all, I've been looking into using FRR as a RR for EVPN with Graceful Restart enabled and found that this currently does not work since FOREACH_AFI_SAFI_NSF only goes through the unicast, multicast and MPLS-VPN SAFIs, so EVPN routes aren't preserved and peers which only negotiate EVPN are deleted on disconnect. However, I can't see any reason why such a limitation would be necessary, and simply removing it and using the general FOREACH_AFI_SAFI in the GH code appears to work just fine. >From what I can tell through git blame, it seems like the GH code predates these SAFIs, its loop boundaries weren't updated when e.g. EVPN was added, and when the FOREACH #define was introduced to clean the code up, it was assumed that the difference is intentional. I'd be happy to open a PR to change this, just wanted to check if anyone is aware of a reason to keep this as-is. Cheers, Lukas
