To perform day-to-day network monitoring and understand where traffic enters and traverses their networks, operators rely on packet counters (e.g., sFlow) and control-plane data. Although these tools can detect traffic, they cannot determine the true origin of the observed traffic. This observability limitation creates uncertainty: when ISPs detect unexpected changes in traffic, they cannot know if this change is due to a routing misconfiguration, a policy violation, a stealthy hijack, or is ju…
Scaling a global streaming platform like Netflix requires a robust, agile, and future-ready network infrastructure. In close collaboration, Netflix and Cisco embarked on a journey to evolve Netflix's BGP architecture, leveraging Cisco's advanced IOS XRv9000 UCS M7 appliance — a solution developed and refined to meet Netflix's unique requirements. This joint presentation will introduce the Netflix network, discuss the motivations for architectural evolution, and detail how both teams worked toge…
