Abstract:
BGP is commonly used with network operators in order to distribute
routing information for both infrastructure routes as well as service
routing information. BGP is used due to its ability to handle high
amounts of prefixes and paths information coupled with administrative
attributes, such as communities, in a reliable and scalable manner.
A route-reflector is a key network component of BGP as it propose an
alternative to internal border gateway protocol (iBGP) fully-meshed
peering requirement. By acting as a concentration point it learns,
process, and reflect prefixes from and to all its iBGP Peers also
referred as route-reflector clients, and is a key element of such
networks performances.
As today networks grow in terms of size and offered services, this
translates into more prefixes to be handled by BGP Route-Reflectors,
and there is a demand by service providers to be able to benchmark
this key function in a realistic and consistent manner.
This document covers how to provide an accurate BGP route-reflector
benchmark.
