Commit Control is a core safety mechanism in the Noction Intelligent Routing Platform (IRP). It governs how routing changes are applied by enforcing bandwidth-related limits, ensuring that traffic shifts toward providers remain controlled and predictable. These limits...
Modern IP networks operate at a scale where abnormal traffic patterns can emerge faster than operators can react. Sudden traffic spikes, protocol floods, or unexpected shifts in packet behavior may indicate misconfigurations, malfunctioning systems, or malicious DDoS...
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is not merely a protocol—it’s the backbone of the internet. For service provider engineers and network architects, BGP is an indispensable tool that enables global connectivity, supports MPLS VPNs, and underpins many critical network...
Understanding BGP states is essential to grasp how BGP operates. Similar to interior gateway protocols (IGPs) like EIGRP, OSPF, or ISIS, BGP establishes peering with other routers before exchanging routing information. However, unlike IGPs, BGP does not utilize...
What is asymmetric routing? Asymmetric routing is a network communication scenario where the forward and reverse paths of network traffic take different routes. In other words, asymmetric routing is the situation where packets from A to B follow a different path than...
