Zusammenfassung:A network device may establish, via a routing protocol daemon (RPD) of the network device, border gateway protocol (BGP) sockets with peer network devices and may establish a socket between the RPD and a periodic packet management daemon (PPMD) of the network device. The network device may provide file descriptors of the BGP sockets from the RPD to the PPMD, via the socket, and may provide, from the RPD and via the BGP sockets, non-keep alive protocol data units (PDUs) to the peer network devices. The network device may provide, from the PPMD and via the BGP sockets, keep alive PDUs to the peer network devices.
