Who should attend

This is a technical workshop, made up of lectures and hands-on lab work. Open to technical staff who are now or soon will be building or 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. Pre-requisites:

Cisco IOS Fundamentals; user level UNIX and maybe some system administration; some use of network design, preferably TCP/IP-based. What you will learn:

  • Techniques for design, set-up, and operation of a metropolitan, regional, or national ISP backbone network. This includes advanced OSPF, BGP4, and policy based routing configurations.
  • IOS Essentials every ISP should be doing. The hidden secrets that all key NSPs have been using for years, but not telling anyone (i.e. competitive advantage).
  • Techniques for the design, set-up, and operation of Internet Exchange Points.
  • Techniques for multiple connections to the Internet (multihoming), including connections to IXPs and ISPs.
  • Techniques to achieve optimal performance and configuration from a Cisco backbone router. This includes routing scalability, network design, and configuration tips.

Technologies covered

IPv4 and IPv6, OSPF, iBGP, eBGP, BGP Scaling, BGP Policies, Route Reflectors, BGP Best Practices, BGP Configuration Essentials, Policy Routing, IXP Design.

Each class is different and tuned to the participants requirements. If there are any specific requirements, these should be communicated to the instructors during the workshops. The instructors who teach at these workshops are among the top Internet engineers today and between them, have a great deal of knowledge on many current technologies.

Please be aware that participants are required to bring laptops.
