BFD can be configured to detect peer relationship status changes in order to implement rapid BGP convergence. BFD, however, needs to be configured on the entire network, and has poor extensibility. If BFD cannot be deployed on a device to detect BGP peer relationship status, BGP peer tracking can be enabled on the device to quickly detect link or peer unreachability, implementing rapid network convergence.
BGP tracking can be used to adjust the interval between peer unreachability discovery and connection interruption. This suppresses BGP peer relationship flapping caused by route flapping and improves BGP network stability.

BGP peer tracking is enabled on the device to detect the status of a specified peer.
By default, BGP peer tracking is disabled.
