Cloud Router

Aviatrix- Bryan Ashley (request) Was just curious if there was support, or planned future support, for BGP communities per cloud router connection. The scenario is we have connections to multiple clouds on the same cloud router. CSPs are varied in their support for BGP community tagging so wondering if PacketFabric could tag routes with a community per connection. For example: Routes received from Azure get 100:100 Routes received from AWS get 100:200 Routes received from GCP get 100:300 This would make it really easy on-prem to identify which routes were coming from which connection in the case of redundant paths within the cloud in addition to paths provided by packetfabric. Obviously we can track some of this with ASNs but this would make it really easy to troubleshoot multiple paths when BGP mixes with SDN routing in the clouds.

When managing multiple connections on CR, having to enter the same prefix multiple times is cumbersome and hard to manage. Add a section that allows a user to create prefixes with labels that can then be selected when configuring a BGP session. Allowing the grouping of prefix labels into groups, similar to prefix lists. These could be used when configuring a BGP session.

Adding IDS and IPS as a function of the Cloud Router.

Add the ability to upgrade a CR connection (VC), same as a VC upgrade.

The routes view for Cloud Router doesn't indicate the connection ID or connection type for each prefix. If a CR has redundant connections to a CSP for redundancy, and only one is active at a time, there's no indication as to which connection the prefix is coming from.

Currently only Layer 2 services support streaming telemetry for traffic, add streaming telemetry for traffic for cloud router services.
