RPSL

As Internet backbone connectivity becomes more complex, it becomes more difficult to keep track of peering policies with providers and customers. By specifying routing details using RPSL in the public Internet Routing Registry (IRR) providers can use the information to check consistency and build router configurations.

This tutorial will introduce RPSL concepts, describe use of automated tools such as RtConfig to build router configurations and use a case study to examine the benefits of converting from manual configuration of BGP peering policy on routers.
