Anapaya EDGE

An Anapaya EDGE deployment is described by three largely independent choices:

• Deployment modes: how many EDGE appliances are operated and how they are arranged. The single EDGE setup is the most basic one and is suited to small deployments without redundancy requirements. For larger and more critical deployments, we recommend one of the redundant setups.
• LAN integrations: how the appliances connect to the customer's internal network, using static routes, the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), or the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Which of them are available depends on the chosen deployment mode.
• WAN connectivity: how the SCION links of an appliance reach the CORE of a SCIONabled provider, over a dedicated circuit, an exchange fabric, or the public Internet.

Every EDGE establishes one or more SCION links to an Anapaya CORE of a SCIONabled provider. A SCION

How to choose the right deployment mode

1. Do you need redundancy (multiple EDGEs)?

   • No: Choose Single EDGE.
   • Yes: Proceed to question 2.

2. Do you need site redundancy (multiple sites)?

   • No: Does the LAN support BGP integration?
     • No: Choose Connected EDGEs with VRRP for redundancy.
     • Yes: Choose Connected EDGEs with BGP integration.
   • Yes: Proceed to question 3.

3. Do you need site-internal redundancy (multiple EDGEs per site)?

   • No: Are the sites connected?

     • No: Choose Independent EDGEs or Disconnected EDGEs.
     • Yes: Choose Connected EDGEs.

   • Yes: Proceed to question 4.

4. Does the LAN support BGP integration?

   • No: Choose VRRP integration.
   • Yes: Choose BGP integration.

   Both integrations can be used with Extended Independent or Extended Disconnected EDGEs.
