[quagga-users 14630] Weird BGP Behavoiur

Hi

I am seeing odd behavour on one of our quagga boxes here and I am 
looking for some help

We have approx 6 Quagga servers which are installed on Supermicro 
Servers with 8G RAM each. RAM usage is low and CPU usage is generally 
low.

In the main server in question BGP summay shows:

BGP router identifier a.b.c.d, local AS number 12345
RIB entries 1186136, using 127 MiB of memory
Peers 330, using 2929 KiB of memory
Peer groups 5, using 160 bytes of memory

With lots of normal sessions eg:


217.146.96.73   4 4234     702     587        0    0    0 01:36:32     
1459

Which is sending / receiving... However with some sessions which I am 
sending a ful table to:


1.2.3.4   4 23454     100     672        0    0 630540 01:36:40        
1
2.3.4.5  4 23454     100     668        0    0 630555 01:36:40        
1

And some internal sessions:

9.8.7.6   4 12345     100     661        0    0 530342 01:36:41        
3
5.6.3.2   4 12345   18551    1364        0    0 525874 01:36:43    
95301

You will see the 'OutQ' Colum is HUGE and does not decrease. I can't 
see any errors - IF I run sh ip bgp 8.8.8.8 for example it will show 
the route is being advertised to a peer router - BUT the remote router 
does not have the prefix prsumably as it i stuck in the queue.

From what I  can see this is the only router seeing this - all have 
the same kernel & quagga version. I have tried upgrading the kernel 
(all are Linux 3.10.17 based on slakeware and with Intel e1000 NICs) 
and the Quagga version (to 1.1)

I can't see anything being logged on the linux logs OR the quagga logs 
- happy to look at anything that will help

Can someone point out what I have done stupid here ?

Thanks in advance
