"value":"There are multiple workarounds that can be applied to prevent this issue:\n\n1. Disable BGP router flap damping.\n\n2.

Make sure that the BGP session idle-timeout is longer than damping max-suppress time. \nIn other words, by the time a peer is eligible to establish BGP session again, no previously advertised prefixes remain suppressed.\nThe BGP session idle time out is configured under:\n [protocols bgp damping ... teardown <TEARDOWN_VALUE> idle-timeout <IDLE_TIMEOUT_VALUE>]\nThe BGP damping max-suppress time configured under:\n [protocol bgp damping... max-suppress <MAX_SUPPRES_VALUE>]\nThe <IDLE_TIMEOUT_VALUE> needs to be higher than <MAX_SUPPRES_VALUE>\n"
