Is there a BCOP (or substantiated opinion) for negotiating eBGP
Graceful-Restart and Graceful-Restart Helper-Mode with external networks?
Implementation looks varied across a few larger transit providers, and in
some cases implemented inconsistently within the same provider. Seeing
most IX peers with GR disabled, although I don't see they've disabled GR
Helper Mode. Apparently, Junos (12.3, at least) doesn't offer disabling GR
Helper Mode for BGP.
Thanks.
