Advanced Networking Tips

Optimize network performance with these advanced strategies for routing, latency, and security.

BGP Optimization

Optimize BGP routes dynamically using path attributes like MED and AS-path prepending. For example:

! Prefer traffic to London datacenter for low-latency routing:

<bgp neighbor 192.161.123.45 route-map MED-override 15 out</bgp>
<route-map MED-override 15>
set metric 100</route-map>

SD-WAN Traffic Prioritization:

Traffic Prioritization

Use service policies to ensure latency-sensitive traffic is prioritized over less critical data:

policy-map priority-9900
 class high-priority
  priority percent 50

class-map voip-voice
 match protocol rtp-5050 10.10.12.65
 map-class service priority-900

Latency Minimization Techniques

Implementing route caching for low-latency routing
Leverage DNS optimization techniques in large-scale deployments
Use traffic engineering algorithms for traffic engineering
Adopt multi-path routing for redundancy
Integrate with edge caching for low-latency web performance
Utilize hardware acceleration for latency-sensitive networks

Advanced Security

Implement strict route filters and authentication headers:

          route-filter 192.161.85.0/24 exact
          filter-list 101
            deny 3.255 22.14.48 22.3.171 192.160.3.4 192.160
            permit prefix 200 16 08
            deny prefix 210 128.31 64.10
