Ran into a strange issue when I upgraded frr6 to frr7 on a FreeBSD 11 box. We have a LOT of bgp peers terminated (650 -- not all established) with a routing table less than 500 prefixes. Everything was working just fine on 6, but upgrading to 7, bgp would sig6 a few min after startup. Not much in the logs.

The problem version was built from the ports. 7.5_1. The only I option I used was build vtysh. In case it was some memory issue, I tried a version with tcmalloc, however it was failing as well. We use frr7 elsewhere with a lot less peers and all works just fine, but those are on RELENG_12. As this is a production box, I cant do much experimenting on it. Not sure how to recreate in the lab easily. Do these problems ring a bell with anyone ? the box is pretty quiet. There are no memory nor CPU pressures on it. It doesnt seem to be a "thundering herd" problem as I tried shutting half the peers at startup to no avail. ---Mike
