I’ve been in the IT industry for almost 15 years, and worked with both large and small companies. I have never had an opportunity to work with the BGP protocol, until now. My experience with it has been fun (for a nerd), and I have now expanded my networking knowledge, just a little bit, so I want to share with you what I have found. I am by no means a BGP expert now, but can confidently understand and configure a somewhat complex arrangement with it.
As with all things for me, it would have helped immensely if there was a step-by-step example of how to complete my project. I learn by example, and can understand something if I can see the completed work first. So, I will provide that for you here.
Of course, I will be using open source tools – old hardware on Ubuntu Server 7.10, with Quagga. Clean, simple, stable, reliable.
Details to follow soon…
