ExaBGP is software which can inject routes with arbitrary next-hops into
your network (i.e. source IPv4/IPv6 routes using both IPv4 and IPv6 BGP
connections, either from a configuration file or third party applications),
inject flowspec routes, or pass received routes in textual form to a
third-party application.
Potential uses include:
- announce IPv4/IPv6 routes with arbitrary next-hops into your network
* injection of service IPs like AS112 announcement
* temporary route redirection (adding more specific routes with
different next-hop)
* injection of flow routes to handle DDOS
- source flow routes.
- track changes in the global routing table.
- add the received default route to an host.
- filter and/or modify routes using your own logic.
ExaBGP is for injecting or performing complex route mangling with BGP,
it is not intended to transform a server into a BGP router.
