MP-BGP is simply an extended/enhanced BGP that primarily allows unicast routes for multicast routing to be carried in interconnect-networks – To this extend, MP-BGP allows protocols other than IPv4 to be carried (IPv6, CNLS, MPLS VPN etc…). This is of course different to native BGP which only allows unicast routes for IP Forwarding to be carried. Having [...]
While they are many ways to optimize routing by aggregating many technologies together as using BGP with MPLS, it is often easier to simply fall back to OER to influence traffic routing based on Netflow events/IP-LSA, packet loss, response time, load balancing policies, line jitters and thus dynamically adapt route metrics, inject or remove routes [...]
The BGP Next Hop Attribute is useful when passing routes received from an eBGP speaker and advertised to an iBGP speaker within the same Autonomous System. By default when a route is advertised to an eBGP outside of the AS, the router will make sure that the next hop attribute reflects its IP address… now [...]
Hi, I am pleased to announce that quaggOS in alpha version has been released. quaggOS is a live linux distribution I created which turns a server/pc into a full BGP/OSPF router. This is achieved by using the Quagga routing solution application. For more information, visit http://quaggOS.org To download and test the alpha release, click here
There are 3 easy ways to filter/restrict certain networks to be announced through BGP to a remote/adjacent AS (Autonomous System). Those 3 simple ways include: prefix-list | Extended Access-list + Route-map | Extended Access-list + Distribute-list To Note: before we go on, I need to specify that creating an extended access list to be in [...]
