When activated, loop detection influences the behavior of the BGP instance as follows:
- The BGP instance does not propagate any routes to neighbors, whose AS numbers are in the AS path of the route.
- The BGP instance sends local routes to iBGP neighbors only if the neighbor is a route-reflector client and the local BGP instance is a route reflector.
- The BGP instance does not distribute a route to neighbors who have already learned it.
These measures reduce the unnecessary sending of messages that a neighbor might reject due to its own loop detection.
Attention: In certain VPN/ARF scenarios, the TX-loop detection must be disabled.
