Graceful Restart and Routing Protocols
66
Graceful restart works similarly for routing protocols and MPLS protocols and combines
components of these protocol types to enable graceful restart in VPNs. The main benefits
of graceful restart are uninterrupted packet forwarding and temporary suppression of
all routing protocol updates. Graceful restart thus enables a router to pass through
intermediate convergence states that are hidden from the rest of the network.
Most graceful restart implementations define two types of routers-the restarting router
and the helper router. The restarting router requires rapid restoration of forwarding state
information so it can resume the forwarding of network traffic. The helper router assists
the restarting router in this process. Graceful restart configuration statements typically
affect either the restarting router or the helper router.

Configuring Graceful Restart for QFabric Systems
When you include the
graceful-restart
level, any static routes or aggregated routes that have been configured are protected.
Because no helper router assists in the restart, these routes are retained in the forwarding
table while the router restarts (rather than being discarded or refreshed).
