Cooperative Route Filtering; Dynamic Capability Negotiation - Juniper BGP - CONFIGURATION GUIDE V 11.1.X Configuration Manual

Chapter 1: Configuring BGP Routing
The router advertises these capabilities except for the cooperative route filtering
capability by default. You can prevent the advertisement of specific capabilities
with the no neighbor capability command. You can also use this command to
prevent all capability negotiation with the specified peer.
NOTE: The graceful restart capability is controlled with the bgp graceful-restart and
neighbor graceful-restart commands rather than the neighbor capability command.
However, the no neighbor capability command will prevent negotiation of the
graceful restart capability.

Cooperative Route Filtering

The cooperative route filtering capability also referred to as outbound route filtering
(ORF) enables a BGP speaker to send an inbound route filter to a peer and have
the peer install it as an outbound filter on the remote end of the session.
You must specify both the type of inbound filter (ORF type) and the direction of ORF
capability. The router currently supports prefix-lists as the inbound filter sent by the
BGP speaker. The inbound filter sent by the BGP speaker can be a prefix list or a
Cisco proprietary prefix list. The BGP speaker must indicate whether it will send
inbound filters to peers, accept inbound filters from peers, or both. The router supports
both standard and Cisco-proprietary orf messages.

Dynamic Capability Negotiation

If both peers acknowledge support of dynamic capability negotiation, then at any
subsequent point after the session is established, either peer can send a capabilities
message to the other indicating a desire to negotiate another capability or to remove
a previously negotiated capability.
The data field of the capability message contains a list of all the capabilities that can
be dynamically negotiated. In earlier versions, now deprecated, the data field did
not carry this information. Use the dynamic-capability-negotiation keyword to
include the list. Use the deprecated-dynamic-capability-negotiation keyword to
exclude sending the list.
Nondynamic capability negotiation is supported for the cooperative route filtering,
four-octet AS numbers, deprecated dynamic capability negotiation, and dynamic
capability negotiation capabilities. Dynamic capability negotiation of these capabilities
is not supported.
If both sides of the connection advertise support for the new dynamic capability
negotiation capability, then the peers negotiate which capabilities are dynamic and
which are not.
If both sides of the connection advertise support only for the deprecated dynamic
capability negotiation, then the BGP speaker uses dynamic capability negotiation for
all capabilities that allow it without attempting to negotiate this with the peer.
