This tutorial assumes that the attendees have a basic understanding of IP routing works but no prior knowledge of BGP is assumed. The tutorial has a theoretical part covering the behaviour of the BGP protocol and a practical part with the C-BGP simulator (http://cbgp.info.ucl.ac.be) whose syntax is close to Cisco routers.

Re: (newbie) BGP For Dummies?
I recommend such thing (remembering, how we learned BGP ourself many years ago, and then participated in edition of the book about BGP). But it all depends of complexity. 2 uplink multihome site - simple case; 100 node backbone with reflectors and private AS-es - another one. On Fri, 2004-12-10 at 21:35, David E.

Re: (newbie) BGP For Dummies?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 To my mind, John Stewart's BGP4: Inter-Domain Routing on the Internet is the best networking book ever. Unfortunately, it is also one of those books (just like A Brief History of Time) that one leant is never returned. I must have bought around 10-12 copies of it by now. It is well written, concise (around 150 pages) and deals with real world scenarios. I strongly recommend it, Warren. - -- Never criticize a man till you've walked a mile in his shoes.

Here is it: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a00800c95bb.shtml Very good document.
Re: (newbie) BGP For Dummies?
There was excellent docuent on Cisco (better than book). I can search for it, if you want. This one is not too bad .. Practical BGP (Russ White, Danny McPherson, Srihari Sangli) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0321127005/103-1122659-1873401?v=glance I have two books that I'm quite fond of: BGP4: Interdomain Routing in the Internet, by John W. Stewart Internet Routing Architectures, 2nd Edition, by Sam Halabi I found both books to be extremely helpful. Regards, John --

Sometimes that's the best way to learn .. when you have accidentally messed up configs on a router that's halfway across town once, have to drive over and fix the resulting mess, you learn quite fast not to repeat that mistake again :) If this guy was anywhere in the asiapac region I'd just have asked him to attend the workshops and tutorials at SANOG or APRICOT - there are a lot more teaching in those two events than you see in NANOG meetings. --srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
