Access technology must fit to the local infrastructure to be reliable

 Globally, lower bandwidth capacities are chosen.
 Airline networks on average have 64-128 Kbit per location, 512 Kbit or
more are seldom affordable.
Several technologies are required to achieve customer´s bandwidth
needs.

Communication Services, Solutions and Products
One focus
Strategy for global communication solutions
 Avoiding network traffic and managing remaining
business traffic efficiently by using newest technologies,
is what makes our approach differently to other voice &
telecommunication carriers.
 Flexibility, due to independence from specific providers
and certain technologies, is what makes us different from
other voice & telecommunication carriers.
 Customer UserLAN, the decisive interface between the
WAN connectivity for central application access and the
Customer Workplace, is what is fundamental for a real
and reliable End-to-End communication.

 Wherever Internet is not available,
commercially not attractive and/or the
customer business respectively the
application landscape have specific
requirements, MPLS will be used.
 WAN Peering Points are extended to
regional HUBs for the provision of specific
applications.

SkyConnect 3.0
How we do it
 BGP community design:
Traffic flows from central site (Peering Point ) to remote locations
We use Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) are controlled by BGP communities. The communities are attached
Clouds from different providers
to the routes at the DMVPN spoke router.
 MPLS:
 DMVPN:
 MBGP:
Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN)
Different virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances
is a dynamic tunneling form of a virtual private network (VPN)
are used to separate the customers. Multiprotocol Extensions
Example:
for BGP (MBGP) allows different types of addresses
“set bgp community
64841:61002
for Offload
(known as address
families) to be64841:63006”
distributed in parallel.
 BGP Route
Order
Our major Routing protokoll
in SC30.
Multiprotocol BGP is also widely deployed in case of
“set bgp community
64841:61002 64841:63002” for Backup
Prefer highest Weight
MPLS L3 VPN to distinguish between the VRFs.
Prefer highest Local Preference
“set bgp community 64841:61006 64841:63006” for Primary
 BGP
Prefer routes that the router originated
(with the Network or Redistribute command)
Prefer shortest AS-Path
Prefer lowest origin code (i<?) Setup of remote spoke routers (DMVPN and MPLS):
 Internet Offload:
GRE Tunnel with External-BGP between MPLS and DMVPN routers,
Prefer
MEDto(metric)
For Internet Offload
it islowest
necessary
influence the routing in both directions.
source interface is on both routers the Customer-LAN interface!
=> Traffic from a Peering Point to Spoke is handeld by BGP
BGP neighbors on DMVPN CE are configured with route-map to set communities!
(change provider clouds)
HSRP active/standby roles are assigned based on logical type of the location!
=> Hub sourced Traffic to Spoke is handeld byDMVPN
PBR and
is BGP
HSRP active! No redistribution of static and connected routes into BGP!
Network statements MUST be used to advertise connected and or static routes into BGP!
(LSY Services, proxy traffic)
=> Spoke sourced Traffic to Hub is handeld by PBR and BGP
(LAN Range)
