GoBGP is an open-source Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) implementation written in Go, usable both as a standalone BGP daemon with a CLI and as a native Go library. It is designed for modern multicore environments and automation-friendly integration via gRPC APIs.
Use cases
- run a BGP route server for an internet exchange point
- embed BGP peering into a Go application
- build a route reflector for a data center fabric
- automate BGP configuration via gRPC instead of CLI
- test BGP policy and flowspec behavior in a lab
- integrate BGP with Zebra for FIB manipulation
When to choose
- you need a programmable BGP stack with RPC APIs for automation
- you want a lightweight BGP daemon without a full routing suite
- you need a Go library to speak BGP natively in your own software
- you need features like EVPN, Flowspec, RPKI, BMP, or graceful restart
When to avoid
- you need a full traditional routing stack with OSPF/IS-IS alongside BGP
- you prefer vendor-style CLI configuration like FRR or Cisco IOS
- you need production support or hardware forwarding integration beyond Zebra
