Site-to-Site Load Distribution Using IGP and BGP
Overview Distributed data centers provide business continuance, disaster recovery, and load sharing solutions between multiple data centers. Organizations have different requirements that must be met through a business continuance and disaster recovery solution. Some organizations use DNS for managing business continuance and load sharing between two data centers. However, for some organizations that do not want to make changes to DNS can use IGP/BGP mechanisms for the solution. This design document introduces reference topologies that use IGP/BGP for achieving site-to-site load distribution between data centers. This paper describes how BGP/IGP can be used to provide load sharing, disaster recovery, and business continuance solutions and identifies some possible distributed data center scenarios.
