Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for scaling resources that handle, participate, and/or control routing protocol sessions. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes instantiating a plurality of containerized routing protocol modules, each capable of storing routing information about a network having a plurality of routers; performing network address translation to enable each of the containerized routing protocol modules to communicate with each of the plurality of routers using a public address associated with the computing system; configuring each of the containerized routing protocol modules to peer with a different subset of the plurality of routers so that each of the containerized routing protocol modules share routing information with a respective different subset of the plurality of routers; and configuring each of the containerized routing protocol modules to peer with each other to share routing information received from the different subsets of the plurality of routers.
