Description
Having redundant paths to connect hosts on an IP based network is an important feature to improve robustness and ensure network reliability. The IP and its associated routing protocols offers a range of options for how to implement this.
The talks explores different techniques ranging from simple failover, to recursive routing, to using routing protocols such as OSPF to automatically updates routes, considering pros and cons of various approaches.
The talk will focus on the implementation using inexpensive Mikrotik routers, but these techniques apply to routers from other manufacturers as well.
