BGP PIC Edge with Family inet6

BGP Prefix Independent Convergence (PIC) improves BGP convergence on network node failures. BGP PIC creates and stores primary and backup paths for the indirect next hop on the Routing Engine and also provides the indirect next hop route information to the Packet Forwarding Engine. When a network node failure occurs, the Routing Engine signals the Packet Forwarding Engine that an indirect next hop has failed, and that the traffic is rerouted to a precalculated equal-cost or backup path without modifying BGP prefixes. Routing the traffic to the destination prefix continues by using the backup path to reduce traffic loss until the global convergence through BGP is resolved. This feature introduces BGP PIC Edge support for IPv6 prefixes.
