## Goals / objectives ##
This is a technical workshop, made up of lecture and hands-on lab work to
teach the necessary routing protocol and IPv6 skills for networks which
make up today's Internet.
Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
* IS-IS design and best practices for Service Provider networks
* BGP attributes and policy
* BGP scalability (including Route Reflectors and Communities)
* Aggregation
* IPv6 Protocol and Standards
* IPv6 extensions for routing protocols
* IPv6 addressing and address planning
* IPv6 transition techniques
* IPv6 deployment case study
## Target audience ##
Technical staff who are now building or operating a wide area service provider
network with international and/or multi-provider connectivity, and are
considering deploying IPv6 across their infrastructure and to their end users.
## Pre-requisites ##
It is assumed that the workshop participants know how to use a router command
line interface, do basic router configuration and have a working knowledge of
an IGP (OSPF or IS-IS) and BGP fundamentals.
This workshop is not an introduction. The lab exercises use Cisco IOS
configuration syntax.
Participants are required to bring their own laptops - (Windows/Linux/macOS)
with wireless
