as Howard likes to say, it's rocket science, not BGP meaning that BGP can be difficult at first. Along with the usual recommendations of the Cisco Press BGP book by Halabi, you might want to take a look through BGP4 by John W. Stewart III. And maybe the RFC. Only don't get bogged down in the programmers' details. Just the overview.
basic BGP is very simple, really. where it gets difficult to understand and configure is when you want to do anything interesting and useful. :-> ""sam sneed"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I am mostly a LAN administrator and my network isn't large enough for me to > get any dynamic routing experience.
