Abstract:
Data centers are attached to the Internet or a backbone network by
gateway routers. One data center typically has more than one gateway
for commercial, load balancing, and resiliency reasons. Other sites,
such as access networks, also need to be connected across backbone
networks through gateways.
This document defines a mechanism using the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation
attribute to allow data center gateway routers to advertise routes to
the prefixes reachable in the site, including advertising them on
behalf of other gateways at the same site. This allows segment
routing to be used to identify multiple paths across the Internet or
backbone network between different gateways. The paths can be
selected for load-balancing, resilience, and quality purposes.
