Challenges of Using BGP when Building a Global Edge Network
Blog post from Azion
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) was developed to manage communication between different Autonomous Systems (ASes) efficiently and has become integral to the complex and dynamic structure of the Internet, which necessitates specialized infrastructures for modern applications. Despite its significance, BGP faces several challenges such as routing table growth, inefficiency in reachability, memory management issues, lack of programmability, and slow route propagation, which are compounded by vulnerabilities like incorrect peering setups, route flapping, BGP manipulation, denial-of-service attacks, and route hijacking. Azion aims to address these issues by providing secure edge routing solutions, enhancing BGP's functionality through network programmability, and participating in initiatives like the MANRS Content Delivery Network to improve Internet routing security. Azion's Edge Traffic Router leverages real-time data to optimize routing paths, ensuring improved performance, reliability, and reduced latency, while their platform supports digital transformation through a comprehensive suite of products and global edge locations.
