RFC7938
RFC 7938 describes using BGP for routing in large-scale data centers, offering scalability, flexibility, and best practices for modern network architectures.
RFC 7938, published by the IETF, outlines the use of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) as an alternative to traditional IGPs for routing within large-scale data center networks. It addresses challenges such as scalability, flexibility, and manageability, and provides guidance on deploying BGP in data centers.
Key topics include motivation for BGP adoption, use cases, design and operational considerations, and comparisons with traditional IGPs. The RFC emphasizes policy-based routing, route aggregation, and security best practices for robust data center operations.
Adopting RFC 7938 recommendations helps organizations build scalable, interoperable, and resilient data center networks.
