BGP Traffic Shaper

BGP Traffic Shaper is a networking control mechanism that limits or prioritizes flows across links for interdomain routing. It uses queues, rate limits, and quality-of-service rules so teams can protect important traffic while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The network engineering team used BGP Traffic Shaper when a route advertisement changed, so the team could protect important traffic before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
