Feature Description
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) allows you to create loop-free inter-domain routing between autonomous systems (AS). An AS is a set of routers under a single technical administration. The routers can use an Exterior Gateway Protocol to route packets outside the AS. The Dynamic Routing by Using BGP feature enables you to configure the next-hop attribute of a BGP router with alternate local addresses to service IP addresses with priority and routes. The SMF BGP speaker pods enable dynamic routing of traffic by using BGP to advertise pod routes to the service VIP.
This feature supports the following functionality:
-
Dynamic routing by using BGP to advertise service IP addresses for the incoming traffic.
-
Learn route for outgoing traffic.
-
Handling a BGP pod failover.
