Dynamic list next hop

Junos OS supports the dynamic list next-hop feature in an EVPN network. Now when the link between the CE device and a multihomed PE device goes down, rather than removing the entire next hop and creating a new next hop for the ESI, the rpd removes the affected next hop element from the dynamic list next-hop entry for the ESI route. Dynamic list next hop provides the benefit of reducing mass MAC route withdrawals, improving the device performance, and reducing network convergence time.

To enable the dynamic list next-hop feature, include the dynamic-list-next-hop statement in the [edit routing-options forwarding-table] hierarchy.
