Tutorial: BGP 101
Speakers: Dawit Birhanu, Cisco Systems
The tutorial introduces service providers to important BGP features and techniques to aid with operating their networks within the Internet. After a recap of iBGP, eBGP and common attributes, the tutorial will look at the various scaling techniques available, when to use BGP instead of an IGP, and examine policy options available through the use of local preference, MED and communities. The tutorial then looks at deployment techniques, including aggregation, announcing and receiving prefixes, and pressure points on the routing system. - See more at: https://www.nanog.org/meetings/abstra...
