BGP Performance-aware Routing Mechanism

streamIETF groupidr stateactive pages11 rev06 expires2026-09-03 canonicalhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-performance-routing/
The current Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) specification does not incorporate network performance metrics, such as network latency, into its route selection process. This document outlines a performance-aware BGP routing mechanism that integrates network latency as a critical criterion for route selection. This innovative approach is particularly beneficial for server providers with a global presence, enabling them to offer low-latency network connectivity service as a value-added service to their customers.
