Gobgp
GoBGP is a Border Gateway Protocol routing suite and network stack implemented in Go. It serves as a routing engine for exchanging network reachability information and managing traffic paths across autonomous systems.
The project functions as a routing controller with a control plane managed via remote procedure call interfaces. It includes a specialized route reflector to reduce peering overhead by sharing routing data between internal network peers.
The system incorporates a pluggable policy engine for filtering and modifying routing information and a routing information base to separate received routes from path selection. It synchronizes computed BGP paths with the host operating system kernel or hardware routing tables to align physical packet forwarding.
