Routing and multihoming workshop

3 - 5 September 2005

Instructor: Philip Smith, Cisco Systems

Abstract

This workshop is designed to provide an empowering learning environment. This is a technical workshop and attendees should be technical staff who are operating a wide area TCP/IP base Internet Service Provider (ISP) network or Internet eXchange Point (IXP), likely with international and/or multi-provider connectivity.

You will learn following in this workshop:

  • Techniques for design, set-up, and operation of a metropolitan, regional, or national ISP backbone network. This includes advanced BGP4 and complex network configurations.
  • IOS Essentials every ISP should be doing. The hidden secrets that all key NSPs have been using for years, but not telling anyone.
  • Techniques for multiple connections to the Internet (multihoming), including connections to IXPs, NSP, and transoceanic Internet links.

Participants are expected to bring their own PC.
