Abstract
In an example, when a network device receives a route advertised by a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) neighbor, the network device distributes the route to hardware thereof, records the route into a linked list of routes to be advertised, and determines a BGP state of the device. If the BGP state indicates waiting to advertise a route, the network device updates the BGP state to advertising a route after a set time length and advertises a route in the linked list of routes to be advertised. If the BGP state indicates advertising a route, the network device advertises a route in the linked list of routes to be advertised.
