Hello,

We make use of views so that the underlying operating system is not aware of any routes held by the frr bgp process. We use FRR as our core network route servers  between a number of core nodes to allow them to exchange routes between them (filters...etc.)

I think having the views feature is an advantage to FRR when running as a route server since the underlining OS has no need to know or make use of the routes held in the routing table.

In today's technical meeting we discussed removing the ability to have
views as an option in bgp.  Before we do any such thing we decided to
poll the community to see if anyone is using views and if so what is
the use case that they are using them under.  So if you have any
insight into this we would love to hear from you!

Thanks!

donald
