BGP-GR: Google requires it, Mikrotik does not support it?

Sun Sep 08, 2024 8:03 pm

Good day

We recently started peering with Google - and they require BGP-GR (Graceful Restart) before they start advertising/accepting prefixes.
Too my utter shock it seems Mikrotik does not support it - even a post dating back to 2018 on this forum speaks of this..

Anyone having any luck?
Thanks!

We have peering with Google at several IX-es without BGP-GR without any problems.

Same here. They request it but don’t require it

Thanks all!
The automated mails from Google only later specified that the process will continue without GR support..

But sure enough, one day Google might just specify this as a requirement, then Mikrotik needs to step up...

Even if Google specifies GR as a requirement, it will not change anything you will still be able to establish session. ROS is advertising GR capability.
