All the concepts are described in one yang model:

Outside generated classes, there is just one class
-`NextHopUtil <https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=bgpcep.git;a=blob;f=bgp/concepts/src/main/java/org/opendaylight/bgp/concepts/NextHopUtil.java;hb=refs/heads/stable/beryllium>`__

class
*SPI* module contains helper classes needed for registering parsers into
The configuration of bgp-parser-spi specifies one implementation of
*Extension provider* that will take care of registering mentioned parser
extensions:

Serializing

specific AFI/SAFI table is set to *true*. Without graceful restart, the
messages are generated by OpenDaylight itself and sent after second
keepalive for each AFI/SAFI. This is done in

**Peers**

has various meanings. If you configure BGP listener, *BGPPeer*
represents the BGP listener itself. If you are configuring BGP speaker,
you need to provide a list of peers, that are allowed to connect to this
speaker. Unknown peer represents, in this case, a peer that is allowed
to be refused. *BGPPeer* represents in this case peer, that is supposed
to connect to your speaker. *BGPPeer* is stored in

This registry controls the number of sessions. Our strict implementation
limits sessions to one per peer.

is a special case of peer, that has it’s own RIB. This RIB is populated
from RESTCONF. The RIB is synchronized with default BGP RIB. Incoming
routes to the default RIB are treated in the same way as they were from
*Ipv4Routes*, *Ipv6Routes*, *LinkstateRoutes* and *FlowspecRoutes*.
Each route type needs to provide a

(BGP Update message) to binding-independent (datastore format).

- represents the first step in putting data to datastore. This writer is
notified whenever a peer receives an Update message. The message is
transformed into binding-independent format and pushed into datastore to
*adj-rib-in*. This RIB is associated with a peer.

- this writer is notified whenever *adj-rib-in* is updated. It applies
all configured import policies to the routes and stores them in

- this writer is notified whenever **any** *effective-rib-in* is updated
(in any peer). Performs best path selection filtering and stores the
routes in *loc-rib*. It also determines which routes need to be
advertised and fills in *adj-rib-out* that is per peer as well.

- listens for changes in *adj-rib-out*, transforms the routes into
BGPUpdate messages and sends them to its associated peer.

linkstate, the route key is defined as a binary string, containing all

associated route. The fact that the NLRI contains a label is indicated
by using SAFI value 4. All of those are defined in
