Technical Overview

Engineering breakdown of Configuring BGP Anycast Routing Nodes (3178). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters such as net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=1 and net.core.somaxconn=65535 to handle massive concurrent anycast flows.

Anycast Design Principles

  • Prefix Aggregation: Advertise a /24 (or larger) from each PoP to ensure optimal path selection.
  • Health Checks: Deploy BFD sessions with sub‑second detection to withdraw prefixes on node failure.
  • ECMP Hashing: Use consistent hashing on 5‑tuple to preserve session affinity across equal‑cost paths.

Kernel & FRR Tuning

# /etc/sysctl.d/99-anycast.conf
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=2
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=2
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse=1
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=15

Apply with sysctl --system. In FRR, configure bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax and bgp additional-paths install to enable multipath anycast.
