Border Gateway Protocol is the inter-domain routing protocol that runs the Internet. It is used to connect Service Providers and any other entity that owns IP space issued by IANA. This workshop covers BGP concepts from basic to advanced level. It includes topics on IS-IS level 2 routing, BGP path attributes and routing policies. The training consists of considerable hands-on labs that have been designed to equip participants with the necessary skills required to design and operate BGP enabled core networks.
