BGP Anycast Routing & Multihoming: Autonomous System (ASN) Peering Architecture
Technical Review: MassiveColo Critical Infrastructure Engineering Group
Engineering resilient edge transit: configuring BGP full routing tables, BFD rapid convergence, communities for traffic engineering, and avoiding route flapping.
High-availability colocation infrastructure requires multi-homed Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-4) peering across Tier-1 IP transit carriers to eliminate single points of failure at the transport layer.
1. BGP Multihoming & Transit Peering Specs
| Routing Protocol | Convergence Time | Table Size Capacity | Recommended Hardware / NOS |
