Only one change or link flap can cause one hour or more traffic drop. It is weird, right? But this is true. In this article BGP Path Hunting/ Path Exploration behavior will be shown, BGP route flap dampening and its variants will be explained and how only one interface flap can cause very long down […]

Resiliency of the networks is almost the most important design criterion which needs to be considered. Packets need to be reached to destination within the time expected by the application. Although too much redundancy will affect MTBF/MTTR curve directly and start to increase MTTR of the entire system, carefully designed network topologies will play a […]

Network reliability is an important measure for deployability of sensitive applications. When a link, node or SRLG failure occurs in a routed network, there is inevitably a period of disruption to the delivery of traffic until the network reconverges on the new topology. Fast reaction is essential for the failed element. There are two approaches […]

MPLS is widely used technology within Service Providers and sometimes also within Enterprise networks. One of the mostly used application of MPLS is MPLS VPN. There are two flavors of MPLS VPN which is Layer 2 and Layer3 VPNs. Basically layer2 VPNs, service provider gives layer2 connectivity to the customer and PW established for each […]
