52:25 Use Cases

Typical uses cases where you'll see BGP used as an SDN signalling protocol include:

  • Remote-triggered black holes;
  • Graceful shutdown of peering sessions;
  • Forwarding optimizations, exception routing and distributed packet filters;
  • Overlay virtual networking solutions using BGP as endpoint reachability protocol.

Global Routing as a Service (David Barroso)

In this PLNOG 2019 presentation David Barroso described how Fastly uses a BGP-based SDN controller to automate deployment of outgoing BGP routing policies.

Leaf-and-Spine Fabric Architectures 13:25:00

This webinar contains detailed design guidelines, including BGP designs in large data center fabrics.

Data Center Fabric Architectures 20:27:00

This webinar describes maintenance mode on Arista EOS and Cisco IOS. In both cases you get functionality similar to graceful shutdown described in this webinar.
