As a protection measure against faults over links, BGP Auto Fast Reroute (FRR) is applicable to networks with primary and backup links. With BGP Auto FRR, traffic can be switched between two BGP peers or next hops within sub-seconds. With BGP Auto FRR, if a peer has multiple routes with the same prefix that are …

Graceful restart (GR) is one of the high availability (HA) technologies, which comprise a series of comprehensive technologies such as fault-tolerant redundancy, link protection, faulty node recovery, and traffic engineering. As a fault-tolerant redundancy technology, GR ensures normal forwarding of data during the restart of routing protocols to prevent interruption of key services. Currently, GR …

Conventional BGP-4 manages only IPv4 unicast routing information, and inter-AS transmission of packets of other network layer protocols, such as IPv6 and multicast, is limited. To support multiple network layer protocols, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) extends BGP-4 to Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4 (MP-BGP). RFC 4760 defines the MP-BGP standard. MP-BGP is forward compatible. …
