Extended Gateway Information

If BGP is enabled, extended gateway information is included in IPv6 sFlow sampled packets, including the following BGP information about a packet destination route:

  • Autonomous System (AS) number for the router
  • Source IP Autonomous System number for the route
  • Source peer Autonomous System number for the route
  • Autonomous System path to the destination
Note: Autonomous System communities and local preferences are not included in the sampled packets.

To obtain extended gateway information, use "struct extended_gateway" as described in RFC 3176.
