BGP as a routing protocol for large IP fabrics was well defined in [RFC7938](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7938) and can offer the following:

* **Scalability:** BGP announces only the best paths, unlike IGPs that share the entire link state database. This may be important for very large fabrics and less so for smaller ones.
* **Scalability:** BGP is known to scale well in very large networks, making it a good choice for scaled-out data center fabrics.
* **Flexible Policy Engine:** BGP provides numerous attributes for policy matching, offering extensive options for traffic steering.
* **Smaller Failure Impact Radius with BGP compared to IGP:**
* In case of a link failure in an ISIS/OSPF network, all devices need to run SPF on the entire link state database. The blast radius is effectively the whole network.
