BGP Tools and RPKI

Course Overview

Synopsis

BGP Traffic Engineering

BGP peering tools and RPKI are vital for secure and efficient network operations. Peering tools help monitor, manage, and optimise BGP sessions, ensuring balanced traffic and improved performance. RPKI enhances security by cryptographically validating routing announcements, preventing hijacks and misconfigurations. Together, they enable network operators to achieve reliability, security, and cost-efficiency, complementing modern BGP traffic engineering practices for seamless and optimised data routing.

Target Audience

Network engineers.

Pre-requisites

Participants should have a basic understanding of BGP fundamentals, such as neighbor relationships and attributes. Familiarity with routing protocols like OSPF or EIGRP and experience in configuring BGP in simple setups is recommended. Knowledge of route filtering and basic policies (prefix lists, route maps) will also be helpful for this session.
