Tutorial Abstract: Routing Policy Implementation Guide

Daniel Golding, Sockeye

This tutorial will cover the important decisions that network operators and designers must make when building or expanding IP networks. The primary focus will be on routing policy, including:

  • Prefix length filtering
  • Implementation of robust BGP communities
  • Methods of controlling route advertisement to peers, customers, and transit providers.
  • Particular attention will be given to considerations for networks planning to explore or expand peering strategies.

    Level: intermediate
    The intended audience is network engineers from large enterprises or small- to medium-sized carriers and ISPs. A basic knowledge of BGP and IP routing protocols is strongly suggested.
