BGP Engineering & Implementation
Deploying Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) can be complex and risk-intensive without dedicated in-house network engineering capacity. Whether you are establishing your first autonomous routing presence or upgrading existing upstream links, our certified network architects handle the complete deployment lifecycle.
We provide turnkey engineering services tailored to your infrastructure requirements:
-
Initial Edge Routing Deployment: Turnkey session provisioning, eBGP/iBGP peering configuration, and prefix announcement setup.
-
Traffic Engineering & Community Tagging: Granular routing policies using BGP communities, local preference, and AS-path prepending to optimize inbound/outbound paths.
-
Multi-Homed Load Balancing & Failover: Dynamic ECMP path balancing and sub-second failover orchestration across multiple Tier-1 upstream carriers.
-
DDoS Blackholing & Route Security: Implementation of Remotely Triggered Blackhole (RTBH) routing, strict IRR prefix filtering, and RPKI ROA validation.
Fully supported across Cisco, Juniper, Arista, MikroTik, Fortinet, Ubiquiti, and Linux software routers (BIRD / FRRouting).
End-to-End Implementation Process
A proven 4-stage engineering lifecycle designed to deploy, optimize, and secure your BGP routing without network downtime.
Topology Audit & Design
We evaluate your current routing architecture, hardware compatibility, upstream transit links, and peering requirements to craft a tailored BGP implementation blueprint.
Registry & LOA Validation
Creation of RIR route objects, RPKI ROA cryptographically signed certificates, and official Letters of Authorization (LOA) to authorize upstream prefix propagation.
Session Configuration
Turnkey deployment of eBGP/iBGP sessions, prefix-list filters, route maps, and vendor-specific configuration templates with automated rollbacks.
Telemetry & Optimization
Global Looking Glass validation, path latency verification, traffic engineering adjustments via community tags, and blackhole (RTBH) testing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What hardware or software routers do you support for BGP deployment?
We support all mainstream network hardware vendors including Cisco (IOS/IOS-XE/XR), Juniper (Junos), Arista (EOS), MikroTik (RouterOS v6/v7), Fortinet, and Ubiquiti EdgeOS. We also configure Linux-based software routing platforms such as BIRD, FRRouting (FRR), and VyOS.
Will our network experience downtime during BGP implementation?
No. BGP sessions are provisioned in a staged maintenance window. Upstream peerings and route policies are tested and validated in parallel before switching active traffic routes, ensuring zero interruption to live production services.
What is BGP Traffic Engineering and how does it help my network?
Traffic engineering allows you to steer inbound and outbound traffic through specific transit providers using BGP communities, AS-Path prepending, Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED), and Local Preference attributes to balance bandwidth costs and minimize latency.
Do you configure RPKI validation and DDoS Remotely Triggered Blackholing (RTBH)?
Yes. Every implementation includes RPKI Route Origin Validation (ROV) to prevent route hijacks, as well as upstream BGP blackhole community integrations so you can drop attack traffic at the carrier edge during volumetric DDoS attacks.
Can you assist with connecting to Internet Exchange Points (IXPs)?
Yes. We configure peering sessions with route servers at major IXPs (such as AMS-IX, DE-CIX, LINX, and HKIX), set up PeeringDB entries, and optimize multilateral/bilateral peering policies.
