[ixpmanager] route server graceful shutdown / maintenance procedure

[Moritz Frenzel]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any intended maintenance procedure
regarding the bird templates provided by IXP-Manager.

How are you handling this in your existing setups when you do
maintenance on the route servers? Do you just announce a maintenance
window and shutdown the bgp sessions?

And for Peers doing maintenance:
Is there a reason why IXPManger hasn't implemented graceful shutdown
community as outlined in RFC8326. I've discovered Issue #302 as well
as PR #303 which at the time was closed for graceful shutdown not
having an RFC, which it now has,
Can this be added by skinning somehow?

cheers

Moritz
