2. Asaf SOMEKH, Oct 15 th, 2013 Peering Requirements / Challenges Availability – Critical service on limited number of nodes – HA hardware features Scalability – Bandwidth (100G interconnects) – Port density (Nx10G, 100G) – BGP scaling – FIB convergence Dual stack IPv4/IPv6 – MP-BGP to support both AFs – RIB/FIB scaling

3. Asaf SOMEKH, Oct 15 th, 2013 Peering Requirements / Challenges Stable/evolved BGP implementation – Flexible routing policy framework – 4-byte ASN support, capability negotiation route reflectors, confederations Security – Infrastructure filtering – Accounting (Netflow v9, IPFIX) – Control plane protection Colocation Cost control – Space – Power Consumption
