NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

BGP Scalability Considerations
Meeting:	NANOG46
Date / Time:	2009-06-15 11:30am - 12:00pm
Room:	Regency Ballroom, 2nd FL Mezz
Presenters:	Speakers: Danny McPherson, Arbor Networks Danny McPherson is Chief Research Officer at Arbor Networks. He has over 14 years in the Internet network operations, security and telecommunications industry. Prior to joining Arbor, Danny was Director of Emerging Technology at Amber Networks. He has served as network architect for global Internet Service Providers such as Qwest, MCI and Genuity. Danny currently chairs the IETF PWE3 Working Group and is a member of several IETF Area directorates and Internet research groups. Shane Amante, Level 3 Communications.
Abstract:	This talk will address the issue with an increased number of unique routes in the routing system, and discuss how the number of routes is increasing more steeply than the number of prefixes. It will discuss how external and internal network architecture has effects on the number of routes, and how a number of other components are effected as a result. It will specifically discuss internal BGP scaling issues, e.g., that of route reflection, and some improvements that can be found by modifying network routing design, implementations, and the BGP protocol itself.
