Requirements from IXPs for route-servers (collected from the Euro-IX Tech Mailing List):
- Scalability to 1500 peers: Large IXPs (e.g., AMS-IX, DE-CIX) already have around 1000 peers growing.
- Per Peer RIBs
- Fast BGP convergence times: Within milliseconds
- Scalability of filters: IP Prefix (100000), BGP Neighbours (1500), AS-Path (1500), BGP communities
