Peering – Routing Software

  • Your choice of open switch hardware
  • Rich feature set
  • Cost-effective
  • High performance
  • Scale up - or scale down

Over recent years, ‘cloud-native’ service providers have developed ways to build and run massive data centers with a high degree of automation, to reduce operational overheads and deliver levels of service agility beyond traditional carrier infrastructure.

RtBrick’s Peering Router brings these same benefits to carrier access networks, by disaggregating software from hardware and applying the same battle-hardened DevOps cloud automation tools that have been adopted by the world’s biggest cloud providers.

The RtBrick Peering Router is delivered as a software container, running on the Open Network Linux (ONL) provided by the hardware manufacturers, which handles peripherals such as LEDs, temperature sensors, and so on.

The RtBrick routing software runs on low-cost but powerful open switches with low power consumption. It can easily scale down as well as up, by selecting the best open switch for your use-case.

RtBrick’s software provides critical peering router features

BGP Flowspec

BGP Flowspec is a powerful tool used to help protect networks from DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks

RPKI

Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) is a mechanism that allows network owners to validate and secure the critical route updates, or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) announcements, and prevent route hijacking or misconfiguration

TCP-AO

TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO) enhances the security and authenticity of TCP segments exchanged during BGP and LDP sessions. It adds support for the most current security mechanisms, and is stronger than legacy mechanisms such as TCP MD5

sFlow

sFlow, or "sampled flow", samples packets from routers and sends them to a central collector for analysis, to identify abnormal traffic patterns and potential attacks

GTSM

Generalized TTL Security Mechanism (GTSM) prevents a remote intruder from hijacking a route using a mechanism that also protects it from CPU-utilization based attacks
