New Course: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

The importance of BGP in networks today is greater than ever as more data and services depend on Internet connectivity and BGP's routing capabilities. Border Gateway Protocol also finds its place within organizations to ensure scalability and new features such as MPLS VPNs.

Anthony Sequeira's latest course, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), covers the technical concepts of this external gateway protocol, including its basic operations, eBGP/iBGP configurations, prefix advertisement, multiprotocol BGP, optimizations, and policy mechanisms.

You might notice that we're expanding on the core learning principle of "One Concept, One Nugget" by producing skill-based modules for complicated technical courses. Because there's a lot of information about BGP, Anthony's course is broken up into six modules:

1. Basic Operations

2. Peerings

3. Advertising NLRI

4. Cisco Routing Policy Mechanisms

5. Scalability Mechanisms

6. Advanced Topics

Anthony's Border Gateway Protocol course is particularly useful if you're studying for IT vendor certifications such as Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, and AWS.

Even if you haven't thought about BGP for a while and want a refresher, this course serves as a great review. Most viewers will certainly find Nuggets of new and exciting information about this ever-expanding protocol.
