BGP PIC (Prefix Independent Convergence) Core & Edge

Great lesson, Rene!

I studied this from the Cisco documentation but they never explained in clear terms what was going on, but you managed it!

Small typo (should be 88.88.88.88/32?):

88.88.88.88/43 via 192.168.24.4 interface GigabitEthernet0/1

Also could you provide the configs for PIC edge, at the end?

Just came across this quote from Cisco:

PIC core ensures fast convergence for BGP routes when there is a link or node failure in the core that causes a change in the IGP reachability to a remote BGP next-hop address.

PIC edge ensures fast convergence to a BGP backup path when an external (eBGP) edge link or an external neighbor node fails.

In your example you use iBGP between PE’s for obvious reasons, so I’m a bit surprised they say PIC edge is for “external neighbours”?
