Regarding the fix and investigation to provide a fix:

- Agent currently uses a fixed buffer of 4096 per route to encode the XMPP message.
  This is widespread and used for all types of routes today.
- Control Node uses a different lib api (third party) that does not require a local buffer to send messages to the Agent.
- Control Node handle sending routes received from the Agent via XMPP that are large.
   * max buffer for non bgpaas peers is 32K for bgpaas peers is 4K, note the route above although > 4K in xmpp format is around 300bytes at most when sent to a BGP peer.
   * Has logic to pack multiple routes in single update and also handles a single route exceeding the buffer limit (supresses update).

A clean fix requires transitioning the Agent to the same api's at the CN to handle sending messages (non trivial fix) + UT.

A shorter fix would be to change buffers from current 4K to 8K on the agent, requires UT on Agent and CN to be added.

Recommend moving out of 4.1.2.
