Parinita noBGP
Identity-routing overlay — replaces BGP for east-west traffic with sub-50ms failover and native multi-tenancy.
noBGP is Parinita's identity-routing overlay that replaces traditional BGP for east-west traffic across the 101-POP fabric. Where legacy BGP is route-table-driven, slow to converge, and vulnerable to hijacking, noBGP is identity-driven, real-time, cryptographically secured, and natively multi-tenant.
What it does
-
Identity-driven routing
Path selection uses workload identity and Chrysalis VRC policy — not AS path. Two tenants' overlay paths never share a VRF or routing decision.
-
Sub-50ms failover
vs. BGP's 30 seconds to 15 minutes. Centralized P8 AmpereOne controller pushes overlay updates instantly via API.
-
Per-flow class of service
RoCEv2 GPU↔GPU on CoS 3 lossless, NVMe-oF storage on CoS 4 lossless, control plane on CoS 2 with ECN, management on CoS 1, best-effort on CoS 0 — class encoded per flow.
-
API into Cisco and Arista
Signals Cisco Crosswork for North-South Fabric 1 alignment and Arista CloudVision for East-West Fabric 2 — noBGP makes the path decision, the underlying switches enforce it.
-
Cross-tenant on one fabric
Cross-tenant Nexus collaboration, multi-agent Chorus workflows, and Atma twin-to-twin negotiation all run on a single physical fabric without any tenant sharing a path.
-
Policy reflects in seconds
VRC smart-contract policy change → overlay reflects within one block confirmation (~3 seconds). Insider-threat anomaly → overlay isolation in 30–60s. Secure incident response → overlay isolation in 30s.
How it works
noBGP owns the L7 workload-identity overlay above Crucible. Where Crucible cryptographically validates identity at the NIC, noBGP makes identity-aware path decisions — a Plane 1 Gaudi 3 inference request from a HIPAA tenant routes only on identity-authorized inter-plane and inter-POP paths; two enterprise tenants’ Nexus collaboration sessions never share an overlay path or VRF.
Path selection accounts for workload class (RoCEv2 GPU↔GPU on CoS 3 lossless, NVMe-oF storage on CoS 4 lossless, control plane on CoS 2 lossy with ECN, management on CoS 1, best-effort on CoS 0), DSCP marking, identity class, and tier of service.
noBGP’s overlay doesn’t reconfigure physical switch tables directly. Instead, it integrates via API: signaling Cisco Crosswork for North-South Fabric 1 alignment, Arista CloudVision for East-West Fabric 2. When Sovereign or Sentry triggers a policy change (e.g., a VRC smart-contract update), noBGP reflects the change on the overlay within one block confirmation — about 3 seconds. When an insider-threat anomaly is flagged, noBGP isolates the relevant overlay path within 30–60 seconds. When Secure signals an incident response, noBGP executes overlay isolation within 30 seconds — no manual step.
What it isn’t
A replacement for Cisco BGP at the WAN edge — Cisco 8000 keeps speaking BGP to the outside world. noBGP owns everything inside the fabric.
