Kaspersky SD-WAN

Route exchange over BGP

Kaspersky SD-WAN supports the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) dynamic routing protocol for exchanging routing information between CPE devices and external network devices. You can establish internal iBGP (internal BGP) sessions as well as external eBGP (external BGP) sessions.

Creation of individual BGP peers and BGP peer groups is also supported. Dynamic TCP sessions are established with BGP peer groups.

The figures below show examples of BGP being used in the solution:

  • Connecting multiple client locations to the L3 SD-WAN network via BGP.

  • Connecting CPE devices to the service provider's IP/MPLS network via BGP.

    Diagram showing two CPE devices connected to PE routers via BGP. The PE routers, in turn, are connected via an IP/MPLS underlay network.

  • Using BGP to configure the connectivity of CPE devices within the domain.
