## Synopsis ##
This is a four day technical workshop teaching the skills required for
the configuration of scalable and secure routing, as well as best
practice operation of the networks making up today's Internet.
Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
* IS-IS design and best practices for Service Provider networks
* BGP Protocol, Attributes and Policy
* BGP Scalability (including Route Reflectors and Communities)
* BGP Best Practices, including Aggregation
* BGP Multihoming techniques (redundancy and load balancing)
* BGP Communities as used by Network Operators
* BGP Security Operations Best Practices and MANRS
* Remotely Triggered Black Hole Filtering
* Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding/BCP38
* Route Origin Authorisation and Validation
These skills will prepare participants to be fully conversant with
today's Internet routing security requirements, as well as being able
to fully implement these techniques in their own network, further
enhancing the stability of the global Internet.
## Target audience ##
The course targets network engineers who are currently using BGP in
their network, and who wish to enhance their skill-set to help secure
their routing infrastructure making their network MANRS compliant,
further helping to ensure the security and stability of the global
Internet routing infrastructure.
## Pre-requisites ##
This workshop is not an introduction. Participants are recommended
to have completed the BGP Deployment Workshop (or equivalent) and
must have day-to-day experience with running a multihomed network
using BGP.
The lab exercises use Cisco IOS configuration syntax.
Workshop participants must be proficient with a router command line
interface, but Cisco experience is not necessary.
Participants must bring laptops with a modern web browser installed
(Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Opera).
Participants must also have reviewed the Video Tutorials at
[learn.nsrc.org](https://learn.nsrc.org/bgp), specifically those covering
[Internet Routing](https://learn.nsrc.org/bgp/internet_routing).
## Objectives ##
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
* Configure routing protocols, according to industry best practices.
* Be aware of the best practices for using BGP on the Internet today, including Scaling, Multihoming, and Aggregation.
* Be conversant in routing security operational best practices.
* Be fully aware of MANRS principles and implement those in their operational network.
* Be able to deploy uRPF, ROV, and RTBH in their network infrastructure.
* Know the building blocks for how to troubleshoot routing issues in their operational network.
