The purpose of this tutorial is to present a framework for the
construction of a BGP architecture for mid- to large-sized ISPs utilizing
BGP confederations. The primary building block for this approach is the
concept of the "POP as Confederation". While concentrating on theory, this
session will also highlight the real world implementation of this approach
on Cisco routers at Mindsping, and on Juniper routers at NetRail. Elements
include:
- Meaningful MEDs for customers, as well as basic, non-MPLS traffic
engineering.
- A well thought-out community structure to optimize route filtering and
propagation.
- Special areas of interest include supporting wholesale dialup
and broadband providers (OPN) and allowing customers the maximum possible
control of their routing.
With the rise of a new generation of service providers, many of which are
based on broadband technologies, there is an opportunity to take a new
look at service provider design. This session is designed to address the
concerns of such emerging providers as they outgrow their current
architectures and look for new approaches.
