BGP Neighbor Adjacency States

Hi Deep,

That will be difficult, all BGP traffic goes through the same TCP session (TCP port 179). If you want to make sure BGP remains up during congestion, I would configure your router to give it some preference. By default, all BGP traffic is marked with CS6.

If you really want to do this, I guess you could go crazy by doing some inspection, looking into the BGP packets only give preference to the “KEEPALIVE” packets.
