Layer 3 Routing Commands 1408
The output shows when BGP counters were last cleared (using clear ip bgp
counters). Clearing counters resets all values in this output to 0 except for the
high water mark for the work queues.
The first table lists the number of BGP messages of each type that this router
has sent and received. Following the table is a maximum send and receive
UPDATE message rate. These rates report the busiest one-second interval.
The queue statistics table reports information for BGP work queues. Items
placed on each of these work queues are as follows:
• The Events queue includes most timer events and configuration changes.
• The Keepalive Tx queue includes timer events to send a KEEPALIVE
message to a peer. The Dec Proc queue includes events that cause the
decision process to be run.
• The Rx Data queue holds incoming BGP messages.
• The RTO Notifications queue includes best route change and next hop
resolution change notifications from the routing table.
• The MIB Queries queue includes pending SNMP queries for BGP status.
