The popularity of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) brings new
challenges to interconnecting networks. While bilateral External BGP
(EBGP) sessions between exchange participants were historically the
most common means of exchanging reachability information over an IXP,
the overhead associated with this interconnection method causes
serious operational and administrative scaling problems for IXP
participants.
Multilateral interconnection using Internet route servers can
dramatically reduce the administrative and operational overhead
associated with connecting to IXPs; in some cases, route servers are
used by IXP participants as their preferred means of exchanging
routing information.
This document describes operational considerations for multilateral
interconnections at IXPs.
This document is a product of the Global Routing Operations Working Group of the IETF.
