ABSTRACT:
Described are a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) network device and method for distributing routing information to a plurality of BGP peers over a network. The BGP network device dynamically calculates a number of groups and a number of BGP peers in each group based on routing information to be distributed. A time interval is specified within which to generate an update message for each BGP peer in a select one of the groups. An update message is generated for each BGP peer in the select group during the time interval. Routes included in the update message for each BGP peer are based on an outbound routing policy for that BGP peer. The update messages are forwarded for transmission to the BGP peers in the select group after the time interval expires.
