Re: Route Management Best Practices

To elaborate slightly on what others have said in terms of protecting against leaks; it's a good idea to filter outbound in a conservative way such that you only send what you expect in terms of community values and/or prefixes and/or AS-paths. For instance, if something gets into your BGP that

Re: Route Management Best Practices

Thanks for the advice. Filtering and route manipulation hasn’t been a problem for me. I’m very careful to prevent leakage, etc. My current issue is scaling my management of our prefix announcements. Every time I add a new block, I need to modify all of my edge routers etc. I understand I can use

Route Management Best Practices

My network has grown large enough that maintaining my prefix announcements to the rest of the world has become increasingly difficult. I currently use static routes and tags on my edge routers to inject route into BGP. The tags correspond to communities that reflect how the routes are announced

Re: Route Management Best Practices

Thanks Mark What do you use for reflectors, hardware(Cisco/Juniper) or software daemons(Quagga)? I've been toying with the idea of using Quagga route servers to announce our prefixes to our edge routers and redistribute BGP annoucements learned from downstream customers. Only drawback is the
