Peering Manager
Powerful peering communication automation and BGP session management – integrated with PeeringDB exchange data.
About Peering Manager
PeeringDB Integration and Communication
Transform peering operations with direct PeeringDB integration that
identifies opportunities from real-time routing data, automates peer
requests, and centralizes all communications in one platform.
Direct Integration
The Peering Manager integrates directly with PeeringDB.
Opportunity Identification
It allows network teams to identify peering opportunities based on real-time routing data.
Peer Lists
Users can access a complete list of peers at each exchange.
Request Management
The system sends and tracks peering requests to potential peers.
Centralized Communication
It centralizes peering communications and tracks communication history and response status.
BGP Session Management
Deploy BGP sessions instantly with one-click configuration, monitor
peering states globally in real-time, and automatically detect
optimization opportunities across all exchanges.
One-Click Configuration
The platform provides one-click BGP session configuration across global peering exchanges.
Instant Setup
It instantly configures BGP sessions for approved peers.
Global Monitoring
Users can monitor peering session state globally for real-time visibility.
Optimization
It detects missing sessions by ASN and exchange for optimization.
Automation and Integration
Automate BGP operations with flexible API-driven workflows, intelligent
peer group importing, and automated IRR management that streamlines
session provisioning and route discovery.
Flexible Workflows
Users can choose between fully GUI-driven workflows or API integration with existing provisioning tools.
API Automation
The API can be used to automate session turn-ups and route discovery.
IRR and ASN Management
The system can automate IRR filtering and update ASN information.
Peer Group Importing
It allows for the import of IPv4 and IPv6 peer groups from existing routers.
NMS Alerts
Alerts for peering events can be sent to Network Monitoring Systems (NMS) for tracking.
Multi-Vendor Support
The Peering Manager supports a broad range of network hardware for BGP
session deployment.
Supported Today
Cisco (including IOS XR), Juniper, Brocade.
Coming Soon
Vyatta, Arista.
One-click BGP session configuration across global peering exchanges and routers for easy automation of typical peering tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions about Peering Management
What is the role of a peering solution in a network service provider environment?
A peering manager automates BGP operations, streamlines session provisioning, and uses PeeringDB integration to identify real-time routing opportunities, replacing manual spreadsheets for peering coordinators.
What is the estimated time to implement a peering solution?
Because ProVision’s Peering Manager features one-click configuration and API-driven workflows, network service providers can integrate and deploy the solution rapidly, often reducing provisioning time from days to minutes.
What are the best practices for managing intelligent peering?
Best practices include leveraging direct PeeringDB integration for real-time data, automating peer requests, utilizing automated IRR filtering, and monitoring BGP session states globally from a centralized dashboard.
