BGP training course description A study of BGP for non engineers working in the Internet. The course starts with a review of the basics of routers and routing tables and then moves on to a simple overview of how BPG works with a focus on BGP metrics influencing the route traffic takes through the Internet. Hands on with routers follow the major sessions to reinforce the theory. Note these hands on sessions are more demonstrations by the trainer but some can be followed along and done by delegates (e.g. looking at Internet routing tables.) What will you learn Explain how routing tables influence Internet traffic. Describe how BGP works. Explain the methods BGP can use to influence Internet traffic. Use traceroute, peeringdb, route collectors and looking glasses to analyse traffic flows. Explain the difference between bi lateral and multilateral peering using a route server.
