## Synopsis ##
This three-day training course looks at more advanced BGP techniques
to help network engineers learn more techniques and best practices for
how to use BGP in their day to day operational networks.
Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
* Dual stack network infrastructure
* 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
* Route Origin Authorisation and Validation
* Troubleshooting BGP & Related Tools
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 improve
their routing infrastructure, multihoming, peering decision making, as
well as ensuring 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 NSRC 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.
Participants must be proficient with a router command line interface;
experience with a Cisco-style CLI is recommended but not essential.
Participants must bring laptops with a modern web browser installed
(Chrome/Firefox/Safari/Opera).
The lab exercises use Cisco IOS configuration syntax.
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)
* [Routing Protocols](https://learn.nsrc.org/bgp/routing_protocols)
* All the IS-IS clips, starting from [IS-IS Introduction](https://learn.nsrc.org/bgp/is-is)
## Objectives ##
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
* Configure BGP according to industry current 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 as relates to BGP, and implement
those in their operational network.
* Be able to deploy ROV and RTBH in their network infrastructure.
* Know the building blocks for how to troubleshoot routing issues in
their operational network.
