If a BGP device is attacked or network configuration errors occur, the device will receive a large number of routes from its peers. As a result, a lot of resources are consumed on the device. To prevent this issue, the administrator must limit the resources to be consumed during device operation based on the network planning and device capacity. BGP provides peer-specific route control to limit the number of routes received from a peer.
