BGP-4 is the routing protocol of choice today when large amounts of routing information need to be handled. It is used by Internet service providers both between autonomous systems (ASs) and within ASs. BGP-4 also plays an important role in connecting large customers with multi-homing. Participants in this course will gain experience in the use of BGP-4, which can be directly applied when setting up and optimizing their own network. They will acquire the skills required for independent network configuration and successful Internet routing, which is also required when setting up and operating an MPLS-based VPN backbone. As BGP is of such central importance for accessibility, particular emphasis is placed on reliability and availability. In the event of a fault, it is therefore essential to carry out efficient troubleshooting. The practical knowledge imparted here enables participants to systematically troubleshoot complex routing scenarios with BGP.
