Automate BGP Network Management

Network engineers cannot run thousands of probes 24/7 to determine better traffic paths and analyze historical performance to make routing decisions. By automating the BGP management process, Noction IRP reduces the need for engineering effort and eliminates the risk of human error.

Refocus BGP engineering effort

Network engineers today face the BGP management challenge by specifying network policies to match business objectives on a set of routers from within an autonomous system. Manual configuration using vendor-specific commands is required to align network performance with business objectives. Manually keeping specific routing policies up-to-date with dynamically changing needs is a daunting task and scales poorly, especially with the ever changing complex business needs of an enterprise.

Avoid human errors

Misconfigurations caused by human errors are often the reason for routing instabilities that occur due to the intricacy of routing protocols. Studies show that almost 6% of BGP updates are inconsistent and unable to show topological changes in the network. 70% of the miss-advertised prefixes occur due to BGP misconfigurations causing routing anomalies such as invalid routes, persistent oscillations, routing loops, and SLA Penalties.

Automate BGP operations

Noction IRP is an excellent alternative to traditional BGP management. The platform participates in the routing protocol decision process and tunes network policy using standard protocol interaction. You simply specify network policies using the web-based interface. IRP then communicates with the routers to tune paths to specific prefixes. Using IRP to dynamically tune routing paths via the standard BGP routing protocol provides a scalable mechanism to implement business objectives.
