Object

column r/w Unsigned32
The number of best paths to calculate as candidate BGP
additional paths.
              
DC-BGP calculates the N best paths for each destination as
candidates for advertisement to BGP peers as additional
paths.
              
The candidate paths are the N best paths avoiding duplicate
BGP next hops.  They include the best path, and alternative
lower preference / higher cost paths.
              
For the default value of 1 the only candidate path is the
best path for each destination.
              
A value of 2 is sufficient to calculate the best path and
a backup path (if available) for each destination.
              
For small values of N the benefit of fast convergence after
N-1 failures can outweigh the cost of calculating and
advertising the best N routes, but for larger values of N
the benefit does not justify the cost.  Therefore this field
should only be set to a small value.
              
The number of paths advertised to each BGP peer can be
restricted at the BGP peer or peer group level
(bgpPeerAfiSafiAddPathBestN or
bgpPeergrAfiSafiAddPathBestN), but it is not possible to
advertise more paths than are specified here as candidates.
              
This field can only be modified while RM is admin down.
