Product Description
Learn practical guidelines for designing and deploying a scalable BGP routing architectureUp-to-date coverage of BGP features like performance tuning, multiprotocol BGP, MPLS VPN, and multicast BGPIn-depth coverage of advanced BGP topics to help design a complex BGP routing architecturePractical design tips that have been proven in the field Extensive configuration examples and case studiesBGP Design and Implementation focuses on real-world problems and provides not only design solutions, but also the background on why they are appropriate and a practical overview of how they apply into a top-down design. The BGP protocol is being used in both service provider and enterprise networks. The design goals of these two groups are different, leading to different architectures being used in each environment. The title breaks out the separate goals, and resulting solutions for each group to assist the reader in further understanding different solution strategies.This book starts by identifying key features and functionality in BGP. It then delves into the topics of performance tuning, routing policy development, and architectural scalability. It progresses by examining the challenges for both the service provider and enterprise customers, and provides practical guidelines and a design framework for each. BGP Design and Implementation finishes up by closely looking at the more recent extensions to BGP through Multi-Protocol BGP for MPLS-VPN, IP Multicast, IPv6, and CLNS. Each chapter is generally organized into the following sections: Introduction, Design and Implementation Guidelines, Case Studies, and Summary.1587051095101412003 |

Great BGP book! by Juan P. Corrales (Alajuela, Costa Rica)  5 Stars
April 27, 2009
If you wanna be a master in BGP technology, this book should be a must. It explains in detailed the BGP technology and offers an advanced level.

Failrly helpful for the lab! by Kambiz Agahian (Australia)  4 Stars
April 24, 2009
I bought this book several years ago for my CCIE preparation but to be honest never went through it as the primary EGP resource. I in fact usually relied on TCP/IP vol.2 but certainly some chapters of this book is much better explained than any other Cisco BGP books. For instance if you'd like to learn about BGP inject-maps which less explored in other resources this item is a nice one! it basically walks you through the topic with a nice example (check the CCO for this!). The same comment applies to its peer grouping and mass configuration topics which are very well discussed but some other areas like regular expressions and advanced filtering would not be graded as "perfect".

What an awesome book! by P. Lemieux (New York, NY United States) 5 Stars
February 25, 2006
This book answered so many questions I had about how the Internet works and how enterprises can use BGP in their networks. The writing style is clear and a pleasure to read. I did not notice any errors or typos. This is one of the best Cisco Press books I've read. The material covered is a logical extension (fill-the-gaps) for the knowledge one gains when studying BGP as part of the CCNP/CCDP BSCI exam. The case studies for enterprise BGP core design and Internet connectivity were one of the most interesting and useful real-world scenarios one can strive to implement. Same for the service provider examples. One caution however, this is not "beginner" material. One would greatly benefit from having a CCNP-level understanding of BGP prior to attacking this book.

Advanced BGP Implementation for ISPs by Sean E. Connelly (Alexandria, VA) 4 Stars
January 31, 2006
I purchased this book both to supplant my knowledge of BGP and as a resource for my CCIE studies. I found the book to be of value more towards practical implementations of BGP. This book is geared toward a high-level architecture - not if only needing to design a 10 node BGP community. One down side is there are not that many configs. On the flip side, nearly every page either has a diagram or show output. One chapter of value is Chapter 8, which focuses on Route Reflection and Confederations. The book also makes good use of Regular Expressions (pg 110) and route conditions - something that is sorely missing in CiscoPress cannon. The last few chapters dive into support for multiprotocol extensions (MPLS VPNs and IPv6). While, upon reflection, I don't believe this book is a necessary tool for the CCIE, it is certainly a book worthy of it's title.
I give this book 4 pings out of 5:
!!!.!

| BGP
by Iljitsch Van Beijnum (Author)
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol used to exchange routing information across the Internet. It makes it possible for ISPs to connect to each other and for end-users to connect to more than one ISP. BGP is the only protocol that is designed to deal with a network of the Internet's size, and the only protocol that can deal well with having multiple connections to unrelated routing domains. This book is a guide to all aspects of BGP: the protocol, its configuration and...
