All configuration changes for a single BGP instance can be committed together. However, configuration
changes for multiple instances cannot be committed together.

Configuring a Routing Domain Confederation for BGP
Perform this task to configure the routing domain confederation for BGP. This includes specifying a
confederation identifier and autonomous systems that belong to the confederation.
Configuring a routing domain confederation reduces the internal BGP (iBGP) mesh by dividing an autonomous
system into multiple autonomous systems and grouping them into a single confederation. Each autonomous
system is fully meshed within itself and has a few connections to another autonomous system in the same
confederation. The confederation maintains the next hop and local preference information, and that allows
you to retain a single Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for all autonomous systems. To the outside world, the
confederation looks like a single autonomous system.
