traffic engineering
AS path prepending, AS path lengths and the AS path filtering
Previously, we’ve already looked at traffic engineering in general and AS path prepending in particular. Traffic engineering is distributing the traffic load over available...
BGP and Traffic Engineering Mechanisms for WISPs
In this blog post, we will take a look at Kevin Myers's presentation where he discusses deployment of both OSPF and BGP routing protocols...
BGP path hunting
Before we look at BGP path hunting, let's first discuss the RIP count to infinity problem. RIP, the Routing Information Protocol, is pretty much...
Routing optimization for Internet Exchange traffic
There are various techniques for optimizing traffic routing across multiple transit providers available in a network. However, there are some additional challenges when there...
BGP-based inter-domain traffic engineering: important considerations
Inter-domain traffic engineering aims to optimize traffic performance, originating and terminating in different administrative domains. At the moment, Autonomous Systems exchange traffic via exterior...
