Greetings Routing Working Group,

 

Here is some information on the workshops that I mentioned on the call last night. Hope to see many of you at the conference!

 

Internet2 Technology Exchange, Boston, Dec 9-13th -  https://events.internet2.edu/website/69276/home/

 

Morning Workshop

https://events.internet2.edu/website/69276/tutorials/#gateway

 

This hands-on tutorial, organized by the University of South Carolina (USC), International Networks at Indiana University (IU), and the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC) will provide effective hands-on training on BGP, from concepts to real implementation, conducted in a safe, virtual environment. The tutorial will allow attendees to: 
 

  1. deploy internetworks composed of multiple ASs connected via BGP, running a production-grade BGP implementation; 
  2. manipulate BGP options and attributes without the fear of disruptions, thus enabling them to implement different policies; 
  3. acquire advanced BGP routing skills; and 
  4. familiarize with a platform that supports high-speed rates of 10 Gbps and above, using a real protocol stack implementation.

Attendees will be provided with detailed laboratory manuals and a training platform, accessible from the Internet using a regular web browser (no SSH, Telnet, or other requirements). Access to the training platform will be granted for six months. Other advanced topics will include MPLS and Multi-protocol BGP.

 

Afternoon Workshop

Good BGP route policy is essential for routing security and to ensure your network traffic is making the best use of your R&E network connectivity and peering.  

This hands-on tutorial will cover creating a complete BGP routing policy for your network and best practices for configuring BGP.  We will also look at useful tools for troubleshooting BGP routing issues.

 

 

Thanks,
Hans
