gobgp
A modern, open-source Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementation written in Go for scalable network routing.
What is gobgp?
GoBGP is a complete, open-source Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementation written in Go, designed for modern networking environments. It provides a robust and scalable solution for internet routing, route serving, and data center networking, supporting advanced features like EVPN, Flowspec, and RPKI. The project addresses the need for a performant, maintainable BGP stack that integrates seamlessly with contemporary infrastructure.
Network engineers, operators, and developers building or managing routing infrastructure for data centers, internet exchange points (IXPs), or service providers. It is also suitable for developers creating custom network applications that require programmable BGP control via gRPC or a Go library.
Developers choose GoBGP for its modern, clean architecture implemented in Go, offering high performance, ease of integration, and extensibility. Its unique selling points include native support for advanced routing capabilities (e.g., BGP-LS, SR Policy), comprehensive monitoring tools (MRT, BMP), and optimizations for scalable data center networking like unnumbered BGP and dynamic neighbors.
