Enterprise BGP Connectivity
Build resilient internet connectivity using Border Gateway Protocol. HostGraber BGP Connectivity services can support eligible enterprise, colocation and infrastructure environments requiring custom routing, IP announcements, ASN integration and multi-provider network design.
Control How Your Network Reaches the Internet
Border Gateway Protocol is used to exchange routing information between autonomous networks on the internet. BGP allows eligible networks to advertise their IP prefixes and select routing paths between multiple network providers.
For enterprises, hosting providers and infrastructure operators, BGP can provide greater control over redundancy, routing policy, IP portability and upstream connectivity.
Announce
Advertise eligible IP prefixes to upstream networks.
Learn
Receive routing information from connected peers.
Select
Choose preferred network paths using routing policies.
Fail Over
Use alternate paths when network conditions change.
Routing Solutions for Enterprise Infrastructure
ASN Integration
Integrate your Autonomous System Number into supported network architectures.
IP Prefix Announcement
Advertise eligible IPv4 or IPv6 address space through supported BGP sessions.
Multi-Provider Connectivity
Build redundant network paths across more than one upstream where available.
Routing Policy Design
Apply route preferences based on business and network requirements.
Colocation BGP
Integrate customer networks and routers within eligible colocation deployments.
Custom BGP Architecture
Design routing around ASN, IP blocks, upstreams, redundancy and traffic requirements.
Gain More Control Over Network Reachability
Network Redundancy
Build more than one network path for resilient connectivity.
Traffic Engineering
Influence inbound and outbound routing using appropriate policies.
Own IP Prefixes
Use eligible provider-independent or owned address resources.
Provider Independence
Reduce dependence on a single upstream network architecture.
Network Scalability
Extend routing architecture as infrastructure and locations grow.
Custom Routing Policies
Control route preference around operational objectives.
Build Resilient Routing With Multiple Network Paths
Reduce Dependence on a Single Network Path
BGP multi-homing allows a network to establish connectivity with multiple upstream providers. If one path becomes unavailable, routing can shift to another available path according to the configured routing policy.
Bring Your Network Identity to HostGraber
Autonomous System Number
Use your eligible ASN to establish BGP sessions and apply routing policies between your network and supported upstream connectivity.
IPv4 & IPv6 Announcements
Advertise eligible address resources through supported BGP connectivity, subject to technical and routing-policy requirements.
Control Route Preference According to Your Network Strategy
Local Preference
Influence outbound path selection within supported routing architecture.
AS Path Prepending
Influence inbound route preference where appropriate.
Prefix Filtering
Control which eligible routes are accepted or advertised.
Route Policies
Apply routing controls around operational requirements.
Primary / Backup Paths
Build preferred and alternate connectivity paths where supported.
Custom Routing Design
Design policies around upstreams, destinations and redundancy objectives.

BGP Connectivity FAQs
What is BGP Connectivity?
BGP Connectivity allows autonomous networks to exchange routing information and advertise eligible IP prefixes to other networks.
Do I need an ASN for BGP?
Public eBGP deployments commonly use an Autonomous System Number. The exact requirement depends on the routing architecture.
Can I announce my own IPv4 block?
Eligible IPv4 resources can be reviewed for announcement through supported BGP connectivity.
Can IPv6 prefixes be announced?
Eligible IPv6 resources can be incorporated into supported BGP architectures.
Can I connect to multiple ISPs using BGP?
Yes. Multi-homed BGP architectures can use multiple upstream paths where the required connectivity is available.
What happens if one upstream goes down?
In a correctly designed multi-homed environment, routing can converge toward another available path according to the configured policies.
Can BGP work with DDoS protection?
BGP routing and DDoS mitigation can be integrated within supported network protection architectures.
Does HostGraber provide BGP network consulting?
Yes. ASN integration, prefix announcements, route policies, multi-homing and network architecture can be reviewed according to your requirements.
