Synopsis
Why is BGP traffic engineering essential in today’s complex network environments? As the backbone of global internet routing, BGP plays a key role in controlling traffic flow, optimizing performance, and ensuring efficient data exchange. However, challenges such as uneven traffic distribution, latency issues, and inefficient routing paths make mastering BGP traffic engineering crucial for network engineers.
This workshop will provide in-depth knowledge of BGP traffic manipulation techniques, best practices, and real-world implementation strategies. Participants will explore path selection, load balancing, route optimization, and advanced traffic engineering methods to enhance network efficiency, stability, and scalability.
Target Audience
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.
Pre-requisites
A solid understanding of network operations, BGP fundamentals, and Internet routing technologies. Familiarity with the OSI reference model, TCP/IP, and basic networking concepts is required. Participants should have hands-on experience with IP networking, route configuration, and troubleshooting. Basic command-line (CLI) skills for configuring network devices are essential. Knowledge of routing policies, AS path attributes, and traffic engineering is recommended.
