BGP Optimal Route Reflection (ORR) and Add-Path are advanced techniques designed to enhance BGP scalability and convergence in complex networks. ORR improves route selection in large-scale deployments by optimizing path selection for clients without requiring full-mesh iBGP. Add-Path allows BGP to advertise multiple paths for the same prefix, reducing convergence times and preventing suboptimal routing.
This lab explores configuring ORR, implementing Add-Path with MP-BGP, and optimizing traffic flow in enterprise and service provider networks.
By mastering these techniques, engineers can enhance BGP efficiency, improve redundancy, and ensure optimal routing decisions in multi-hop environments.
