Unlike BIRD or Quagga, ExaBGP was not designed to transform a general purpose
|
|
server into a router, but to allow engineers to control their BGP (rfc4271)
|
|
network easily. Think of it as Software Defined Networking for people with
|
|
"commodity" routers.
|
|
|
|
ExaBGP transform BGP (rfc4271) messages into friendly plain text or JSON
|
|
which can be easily manipulate by scripts.
|
|
|
|
It allows the creation of tools such as:
|
|
* advanced looking glass graphically display the routing of prefix
|
|
* high availability tool which automatically isolate broken services
|
|
* DDOS mitigation
|
|
* an anycasted server
