This post details the development and implementation of Edge Fabric, a system designed to improve egress traffic steering at the network edge. It addresses limitations of traditional BGP by introducing capacity and performance awareness. Key components include a BMP collector and traffic collector for data collection, an allocator that projects interface utilization and generates overrides, and a BGP Injector service to enact these overrides. The system aims to optimize network traffic performance by overcoming BGP's static decision-making and lack of congestion awareness.
