Replace accepted-prefix-limit with prefix-limit
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Learned the differences and advantages through https://youtu.be/_wRvNINnSQg?list=WL&t=569

If worth doing, I see 2 things to keep in mind:
1/ Does replacing accepted-prefix-limit with prefix-limit cause the peer to bounce?
2/ Peers sending us an amount of routes close to accepted-prefix-limit (if any) could trigger the prefix-limit, in this case, we need to increase that limit

Over to Faidon for feedback.

Yes, we should probably move over to prefix-limit to prevent (improving) filters from making accepted-prefix-limit ineffective.

  1. Is worth checking indeed, I suppose we can do that on a single peer first.
  1. Probably... if we have any peers where we are actually filtering out announcements, it may be worth reconsidering we still want to have them as a peer. :)

Confirmed that replacing accepted-prefix-limit with prefix-limit does NOT cause the peer to bounce.
