Why is BGP Peering & Community important in today’s interconnected internet landscape? As the backbone of global routing, BGP peering ensures efficient traffic exchange, while BGP communities provide greater control over route policies and traffic engineering. However, challenges such as policy enforcement, route filtering, and traffic optimization make mastering these concepts essential for network engineers.
This workshop will provide in-depth knowledge of BGP peering strategies and community attributes to enhance routing control and interconnection efficiency. Participants will explore public and private peering, multihoming, route tagging, traffic engineering, and troubleshooting techniques to build stable, scalable, and well-optimized networks.
This workshop is designed for ISP engineers, core network engineers, and network operators responsible for optimizing BGP traffic flow. It is ideal for professionals managing large-scale networks who want to enhance their skills in traffic engineering, route optimization, load balancing, and best practices for improving network performance and stability.
Participants should have a solid understanding of BGP fundamentals, IP networking, and routing concepts. Familiarity with peering policies, the OSI model, and TCP/IP is recommended. Basic knowledge of route filtering, traffic engineering, and network security will be beneficial. Hands-on experience with configuring BGP sessions and using command-line interfaces (CLI) for network devices is preferred.
