Resilience is a design choice
Moving routing into the network removes the single box in your data center, but resilience still depends on how connections are built.
Two of everything
Peer1ix Cloud Router runs as redundant instances in separate locations. Connect each cloud and site to both, with BGP sessions to each instance.
Fast failure detection
BGP timers alone can take tens of seconds to detect a failure. Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) detects link problems in well under a second, triggering failover quickly.
Path preference
Decide whether both instances carry traffic actively or one is preferred. Active-active spreads load; active-standby simplifies troubleshooting.
Maintenance without impact
Before planned work, routes can be gracefully withdrawn from one instance so traffic moves to the other first.
Prove it
Schedule failover tests: shut a session, measure the time to recovery, confirm applications are unaffected.
