Flow Specification Family
=========================
The BGP Flow Specification (BGP-FS) Multiprotocol extension can be used to distribute traffic flow specifications.
For example, the BGP-FS can be used in a case of (distributed) denial-of-service (DDoS) attack mitigation procedures and traffic filtering (BGP/MPLS VPN service, DC).

Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This section shows a way to enable BGP-FS family in BGP speaker and peer configuration.

BGP Speaker
'''''''''''
To enable BGP-FS support in BGP plugin, first configure BGP speaker instance:
