Title : Gateway Auto-Discovery and Route Advertisement for Segment Routing Enabled Site Interconnection Authors : Adrian Farrel John Drake Eric Rosen Keyur Patel Luay Jalil Filename : draft-ietf-bess-datacenter-gateway-13.txt Pages : 13 Date : 2021-07-22 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.
