• RPs can transmit SA messages periodically to prevent SA storms, and
• only sources that are in the cache are advertised in the SA to prevent transmitting multiple copies of
the same source information.

Limit the Source-active Cache
Set the upper limit of the number of active sources that FTOS caches. The default active source limit is
500K messages. When the total number of active sources reaches the specified limit, subsequent active
sources are dropped even if they pass the RPF and policy check.
If the total number of active sources is already larger than the limit when limiting is applied, the sources
that are already in FTOS are not discarded. To enforce the limit in such a situation, use the command
clear
ip msdp sa-cache
to clear all existing entries.
