For Execution

Java Runtime Environment 8

For Development

JDK 8

Known Issues and Limitations

• Particular known bugs and workarounds.

• • Bug 6257 - missing PMSI attribute in Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag Route
  • Bug 6562 - Support add-path in base BGP NLRI

• Limitations

• • BGP scaling with clustering - it is recommended to create a "bgp-rib" module-based shard without a replication, for more details see BGP user-guide

• Testing methodology. How extensive was it? What should be expected to work? What hasn't been tested as much?

The BGP extensions (L3VPN, EVPN, Route Refresh, Add-Path) were tested manually with vendor's BGP router implementation or other software implementations (exaBGP, bagpipeBGP). Also, new features are covered by the unit tests and automated system tests.
