## Goals ##
This is a technical workshop, consisting of lecture and hands-on lab work to
teach the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
skills required for the configuration and operation of the large scale
networks that make up the Internet according to current industry best
practices. The course uses both IPv4 and IPv6 in a dual stack infrastructure.
Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
* IS-IS design and best practices for R&E networks
* BGP protocol, attributes and policy control
* BGP Best Practices, including Aggregation
* BGP multihoming techniques (redundancy and load balancing)
* BGP Communities as used by Network Operators
The skills learned during this course will help improve the performance of
the NREN and the campus networks connected to them. In turn this will give
a better end user experience, and will improve the over all participation
in and utilisation of the global R&E infrastructure.
