@Jonathon, yes you're right i should not post off-topic here, offcourse i
thought as nginx has tremendous amount of capabilities and there might be
alternative possibility of BGP too but i was wrong. I would be thankful if
you help me on ngx-http_geo_module as it is related to nginx and help me
with the following problem :-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our local ISP provided us with some testing ip prefixes to check nginx
based caching.  i.e
geo {
default 0;
10.0.0.0/8 1;
39.23.2.0/24 1;
112.50.192.0/18 1;
}

Now whenever we add the prefix 112.50.192.0/18 in geo {} , all the requests
coming from the 39.23.2.0/24 and 10.0.0.0/8 returns nginx 504 gateway error
and videos failed to stream. To resolve this issue, we have to remove
112.50.192.0/18 1; from geo block.
