BGP Scalability Considerations

Danny McPherson, Arbor Networks; Shane Amante, Level 3 Communications
Presentation Date: June 15, 2009, 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Room: Regency Ballroom, 2nd FL Mezz

Abstract:
This talk will address the issue with an increased number of unique routes in the routing system, and discuss how the number of routes is increasing more steeply than the number of prefixes. It will discuss how external and internal network architecture has effects on the number of routes, and how a number of other components are effected as a result. It will specifically discuss internal BGP scaling issues, e.g., that of route reflection, and some improvements that can be found by modifying network routing design, implementations, and the BGP protocol itself.
