Implementing Dynamic Routing with BGP and BFD in OpenStack Layer 3 Networks

Explore a 32-minute conference talk that delves into modern data center networking approaches using layer 3 protocols instead of traditional layer 2 networking. Learn about the OpenStack Wallaby innovations that enable enhanced scalability beyond layer 2 networks, while understanding the limitations of layer 2 networking and how layer 3 protocols address these challenges. Discover the integration between OpenStack and FRRouting (FRR) for implementing BGP routing protocol-based dynamic routing, along with the implementation of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol for network link failure detection. Gain insights into how Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing provides both high availability and load balancing in OpenStack control and dataplane networks. Through speaker Maciej Lecki's presentation, master the implementation of dynamic routing network protocols using open source routing daemons to build scalable OpenStack environments, covering topics from distributed control planes to egress traffic processing and performance considerations.
