Peering Manager

Automated BGP Peering & Session Management

The Peering Manager is an automated, API-driven platform for configuring, managing, and monitoring BGP sessions across diverse network environments. It is designed to eliminate the inefficiencies and errors that result from managing peering connections with manual requests and spreadsheets.

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

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.
