Post Views: 274 Network Engineers and folks learning networking – my BGP Lab series is now available – you will find them here. There are three Labs that include GNS3 topologies, and PCAPS to emulate and capture these awesome labs. Starting with Basic, then looking at Multihop eBGP, then examining the protocol with Wireshark, then

Post Views: 3,755 MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is often regarded as one of the most elegant service provider networking technologies after TCP/IP itself because it solved several big problems introduced in the late 1990s (and I got to be part of that): For service providers, this was game-changing. Many argue that without MPLS, the explosion

Post Views: 2,782 I got this question the other day: “What does the BGP Next-Hop-Self command actually do?” It is a great question that I tried to answer in a brief description without success, and actually repeated my answer several times. It was clear to me that my answer was not being understood in terms

Post Views: 1,755 The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) allows internal and external networks or autonomous systems (AS’s) to exchange routes. BGP is a path-vector routing protocol, which simply means that its job is to exchange routing information between autonomous systems to find the most efficient path for your data to the Internet. Each BGP router

Post Views: 1,955 When a router learns multiple routes to a specific network via multiple routing processes (or routing protocols, such as RIP, RIPv2, IGRP, EIGRP, and OSPF), it installs the route with the lowest administrative distance in the routing table. Load balancing is a standard functionality of the router software, and is available across
