Usage
Information
An MSDP mesh group is a mechanism for reducing SA flooding, typically in an
intra-domain setting. When some subset of a domain’s MSDP speakers are fully
meshed, they can be configured into a mesh-group. If member X of a mesh-group
receives a SA message from an MSDP peer that is also a member of the mesh-
group, member X accepts the SA message and forwards it to all of its peers that are
not part of the mesh-group. However, member X cannot forward the SA message
to other members of the mesh-group.
