BGP policies, containing regular expressions to match as-path and communities,
tend to use a lot of CPU processing time, which in turn affects the BGP routing
convergence. Additionally, the
show bgp
commands, which are filtered through
regular expressions, use up CPU cycles particularly with large databases. The Regex
Engine Performance Enhancement feature optimizes the CPU usage by caching
and reusing regular expression evaluation results. This caching and reuse may be at
the expensive of RP1 processor memory.
