A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Using BGP for routing in large-scale data centers Author(s) : Petr Lapukhov Ariff Premji Filename : draft-lapukhov-bgp-routing-large-dc-00.txt Pages : 19 Date : 2012-07-09 Abstract: Some service providers build and operate data centers at the size exceeding 100,000 servers. In this document, those data-centers are referred to as "large-scale" to differentiate them from more common smaller infrastructures. The data centers of that scale have unique set of network design requirement, with primary focus on operational simplicity and stability. This document attempts to summarize the authors' experiences in designing and supporting large data centers, using BGP as the only control-plane protocol. The intent is to describe a proven and stable routing design that could be leveraged by others in the industry.
