Providers have strengths and weaknesses.
There is currently no WAN provider who is able to deliver best of price and best of breed globally.
Need to cherry-pick to achieve best solutions and best pricing.

Globally, infrastructure on site is very differently developed.
Some regions are very well developed but most of them are still very weak.
Access technology must fit to the local infrastructure to be reliable and affordable.

Globally, infrastructure on site is very differently developed.
Some regions are very well developed but most of them are still very weak.
Access technology must fit to the local infrastructure to be reliable and affordable.
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.

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.

SkyConnect 3.0 Platform Design – Global WAN Peering Platform
Peering Points in Kelsterbach, Dallas,
Singapore & London enable Multi-Provider
Concept for best of price & optimized
quality on a regional basis.
Reduction of latency by inter-provider
routing.
Primarily, internet based hybrid solution –
a global solution including the required
security and business intelligence for any
global company network.
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.

MPLS:
We use Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Clouds from different providers
DMVPN:
Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN)
is a dynamic tunneling form of a virtual private network (VPN)
BGP
Our major Routing protokoll in SC30.
MBGP:
Different virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances
are used to separate the customers. Multiprotocol Extensions
for BGP (MBGP) allows different types of addresses
(known as address families) to be distributed in parallel.
Multiprotocol BGP is also widely deployed in case of
MPLS L3 VPN to distinguish between the VRFs.
BGP Route Order
Prefer highest Weight
Prefer highest Local Preference
Prefer routes that the router originated
(with the Network or Redistribute command)
Prefer shortest AS-Path
Prefer lowest origin code (i<?)
Prefer lowest MED (metric)
Internet Offload:
For Internet Offload it is necessary to influence the routing in both directions.
=> Traffic from a Peering Point to Spoke is handeld by BGP
(change provider clouds)
=> Hub sourced Traffic to Spoke is handeld by PBR and BGP
(LSY Services, proxy traffic)
=> Spoke sourced Traffic to Hub is handeld by PBR and BGP
(LAN Range)
Setup of remote spoke routers (DMVPN and MPLS):
GRE Tunnel with External-BGP between MPLS and DMVPN routers,
source interface is on both routers the Customer-LAN interface!
BGP neighbors on DMVPN CE are configured with route-map to set communities!
HSRP active/standby roles are assigned based on logical type of the location!
DMVPN is 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!
BGP community design:
Traffic flows from central site (Peering Point ) to remote locations
are controlled by BGP communities. The communities are attached
to the routes at the DMVPN spoke router.
Example:
“set bgp community 64841:61002 64841:63006” for Offload
“set bgp community 64841:61002 64841:63002” for Backup
“set bgp community 64841:61006 64841:63006” for Primary
