Description: This field is used in conjunction with bgpPeergrAfiSafiDisSndLpDetect to indicate whether BGP should disable sender-side loop detection when sending routes to the peer.

By default, BGP performs sender side loop detection. That is, it will not advertise a route to a peer if the AS-Path of the route already contains the peer's AS number. A peer would typically discard such routes, so this is normally a useful optimization.

However, the peer may be configured to accept such routes (see bgpPeergrAllowLocalAs). In this case it is necessary to disable sender-side loop detection, by setting bgpPeergrDisableSndLpDetect to 'true'.

Sender-side loop detection may be disabled independently for each address family. When bgpPeergrDisableSndLpDetect is set to 'true', set bgpPeergrAfiSafiDisSndLpDetect to 'true' or 'false' to disable or enable sender-side loop detection for each address family.

If the value is changed while the peer session is active, BGP will check for any routes that need to be advertised or withdrawn as a result of the change.
