been around for decades<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When BGP was first formalized decades ago, the world was just starting to realize the enormity of the Internet and the possibilities it presented, in terms of capability and size. Unfortunately, time marches on and the limitations of this protocol started displaying its limitations, especially when dealing with today\u2019s incredibly complex networks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BGP_on_its_own_is_not_easily_updated_on-the-fly\"><\/span>BGP on its own is not easily updated on-the-fly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While BGP directs routing based on information exchange, it is also influenced by route attributes such as the origin, AS path, local preference, aggregator, next hop and others. Those attributes can be set by network engineers, but updating them on-the-fly presents its own unique set of issues. For example, when customizing BGP for the selected outbound route in a multi-homed network, the selected outbound route would typically be the route with higher preference locally, even if that path might experience congestion.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Having_network_engineers_manually_monitor_network_performance_%E2%80%93_good_or_bad\"><\/span>Having network engineers manually monitor network performance \u2013 good or bad?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re directing network engineers to constantly (manually) look for failures and congestions, they\u2019re forced to deal with rapid variances in environments. Toward that end, they need to constantly test and collect data via probes like ping and traceroute (and others) to determine packet loss, available bandwidth, end-to-end latency and jitter. That becomes increasingly difficult when BGP directs a change in routing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IRP_improves_network_performance\"><\/span>IRP improves network performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Noction Intelligent Routing Platform not only improves network performance, it also reduces operational overhead.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_types_of_issues_are_typically_encountered_by_large_enterprises_and_ISPs\"><\/span>What types of issues are typically encountered by large enterprises and ISPs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first and foremost issue encountered is uptime. It\u2019s critically important to provide reliable services across the network 100% of the time. Toward that end, network congestion and problematic routes need to be addressed and resolved quickly. Those paths with increased latency and higher than acceptable packet loss need to be avoided, so that they\u2019re ultimately offering consistent throughput across low latency routes, all the while avoiding exceeding committed bandwidth.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Noction_IRP_to_the_rescue\"><\/span>Noction IRP to the rescue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>All of those aforementioned issues are addressed by Noction IRP by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automating dynamic route updates depending on real-time performance of the network<\/li>\n<li>Defining routing policies (improves control of ISP usage and cost)<\/li>\n<li>Automatically throttling outbound traffic to committed levels for the ISP<\/li>\n<li>Automatically balancing loads among multiple providers<\/li>\n<li>And by customizing routing policies predicated by business goals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Noction_leverages_existing_information_to_save_time\"><\/span>Noction leverages existing information to save time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Noction actually leverages existing connectivity with information that is collected dynamically, so that network engineers don\u2019t need to waste their valuable time running down 1000\u2019s of probes to troubleshoot network failures or congestion, or simply to decide best path at that moment. This also helps eliminate human error.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Noction_does\"><\/span>What Noction does<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Noction actively probes remote prefixes for latency, historical reliability, packet loss, throughput and capacity, then calculates how to optimize the network to improve routing. It works on the network edge performing non-intrusive traffic analysis, probing affected routers, then automatically reroutes traffic. It effectively reduces latency and packet loss by 24% and 89%, respectively.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Monitoring_and_troubleshooting\"><\/span>Monitoring and troubleshooting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>IRP helps network engineers troubleshoot performance issues much quicker, providing real-time views, then sending out notifications when issues do happen.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Noction_optimizes_costs\"><\/span>Noction optimizes costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Noction optimizes costs by balancing traffic (figuring in commit rate), ensuring the correct amount of traffic is directed to the right ISP.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IRP_is_not_intrusive\"><\/span>IRP is not intrusive<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Because IRP sits outside of the traffic path, there\u2019s no adverse effect on the network, and even if the IRP gets switched OFF (or fails), the edge router falls back to normal routing without any downtime.<\/p>\n<h4><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg\" alt=\"ProlimeHost Cheap Linux Server Hosting\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.prolimehost.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2014\/08\/unnamed-e1408122780935-300x60.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BROUGHT_TO_YOU_BY_PROLIMEHOST\"><\/span>BROUGHT TO YOU BY PROLIMEHOST<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019ve been in the web hosting industry for over a decade, helping hundreds of clients succeed in what they do best and that\u2019s running their business.
