Inhaltsangabe

Modern data centers have outgrown the Spanning Tree Protocol.
When applications demand sub-second failover and massive east-west bandwidth, legacy designs like OSPF and EIGRP simply cannot keep up. The industry has converged on a single solution: BGP Everywhere.
BGP in the Data Center is the architect’s handbook for building the post-OSPF fabric. This book strips away the complexity of Internet-edge routing to reveal how BGP serves as the perfect control plane for high-scale leaf-spine topologies. You will move beyond basic configuration to master the entire modern stack: Unnumbered BGP, EVPN-VXLAN overlays, and host-based routing.
Inside, you will master:
Abandon Legacy Architectures: Understand why the three-tier model failed and how to design non-blocking Clos networks that scale to hundreds of thousands of ports.
Master EVPN-VXLAN: Eliminate flood-and-learn. Learn to deploy Route Types 2, 3, and 5 to deliver seamless Layer 2 extension and Layer 3 routing.
Simplify with RFC 5549: Deploy Unnumbered BGP using IPv6 link-local peering to remove IP addressing headaches from your underlay entirely.
Optimize Convergence: Tune BFD and BGP timers to achieve sub-second failure detection that rivals hardware switching.
Host Routing & Anycast: Extend the fabric to the server. Learn to run BGP on the host for true "IP-per-container" networking.
Includes complete, vendor-agnostic configuration templates for Arista EOS, Cisco NX-OS, and Juniper Junos.
Stop wrestling with legacy protocols. Upgrade your architecture with BGP in the Data Center today.
