Usage
Information
The system counts the SA messages originated by itself and those messages received from the MSDP
peers. When the total SA messages reach this limit, the subsequent SA messages are dropped (even if
they pass RPF checking and policy checking).
If the total number of SA messages is already larger than the limit when this command is applied, those
SA messages that are already in the software continue to be accepted. To enforce the limit in such
situation, use the clear ip msdp sa-cache command.
