BGP load balancing

December 12th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

BGP load balancing allows data center clients to – take advantage of that center’s backbone connections to the Internet to reduce latency.

Technically, it’s generally available across – all router platforms and relates to the forwarding process in a router. It’s based on standard routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), RIPv2, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), or derived from statically configured routes and packet forwarding mechanisms. It’s automatically activated if the routing table has multiple paths to a destination.

Gaming applications should – always opt for BGP load balancing.
