Hello Group,
I was wondering if anyone could share their experience with any route
optimization approaches, methodologies or platforms, either open source or
commercial (Internap FCP), that can actively adjust BGP parameters based on
latency and number of layer 3 hops to a network rather than AS hops. We have
upstreams all over the country and we would like to automate optimization to
take the best egress path.
We were using Internap, but ended up writing our own so that we could look
at larger number of speakers. The technology is not that complicated, you
basically take netflow data and send it to a host that has tunnels over
each one of your BGP peers that you care about. It then uses a combination
of traceroute and ping to collect its data that is then injected back to
the router over BGP.
