Overview
Path Computation Element controllers built using the Flock Internet Routing Engine (FIRE) will allow your network to achieve “five-nines” availability.
- Stability: 100% of the FIRE code is written in the rust language. Rust guarantees memory safety at compile time. This means no runtime crashes or unscheduled process restarts.
- Redundancy: FIRE supports pre-programming backup paths throughout your network. On device or network link failure traffic will instantly switch to the backup path.
- Constraint based path computation. Paths can be selected on bandwidth, cost, geographic region or any custom metric that you choose.
- Observability: FIRE includes complete IGP and BGP implementations. This means it can participate as a passive node in your network and have first hand knowledge of the current network state.
