Description
ExaBGP is software which speaks BGP. It is used for injecting routes or performing complex route mangling with BGP, it is not intended to transform a server into a BGP router.
Potential uses include:
- injecting routes for service IPs (e.g. anycasting health-checked services)
- injecting flowspec routes, possibly to handle DDOS
- adding the received default route to a host
- filtering and/or modifying routes using your own logic
- tracking changes in the global routing table
- passing received routes in text/JSON form to a third-party application
