Arbor Networks Expert Authors Book on BGP to Advance Network Planning and Routing.LEXINGTON, Mass. -- Arbor Networks, the leading provider of network integrity solutions, today announced that Danny McPherson, a member of Arbor's architecture and development group, has co-authored Practical BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) The routing protocol that is used to span autonomous systems on the Internet. It is a robust, sophisticated and scalable protocol that was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). , a book designed to show how to deploy BGP in a wide variety of networks. The Border Gateway Protocol Border Gateway Protocol - (BGP) An Exterior Gateway Protocol defined in RFC 1267 and RFC 1268. Its design is based on experience gained with Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), as defined in STD 18, RFC 904 and EGP usage in the NSFNet backbone, as described in RFCs 1092 and 1093. , or BGP, is the de facto standard Hardware or software that is widely used, but not endorsed by a standards organization. Contrast with de jure standard. de facto standard - A widespread consensus on a particular product or protocol which has not been ratified by any official standards body, such as ISO, protocol for exchanging inter-domain routing information in the Internet. Practical BGP covers the basics of the BGP protocol as well as information on deploying BGP networks. The book describes clearly how to deploy BGP in a wide variety of networks - from small and simple to the very large and extremely complex. The hands-on guide is for anyone interested in networks and routing, as well as those studying for networking certifications or planning to implement BGP. Coverage includes: --Understanding the impact of BGP design on local networks and the Internet backbone (communications, networking) Internet backbone - High-speed networks that carry Internet traffic. These communications networks are provided by companies such as AT&T, GTE, IBM, MCI, Netcom, Sprint, UUNET and consist of high-speed links in the T1, T3, OC1 and OC3 ranges. --Building effective BGP policies: aggregation, propagation, accounting, and more --Maximizing scalability and performance in BGPv4 networks --BGP and network security, including Secure Origin BGP --Deploying BGP/MPLS Layer 3 VPNs --Extensive troubleshooting, unavailable in any other book The book is written by a team of the world's leading BGP experts who bring together powerful insights into network design, configuration, and deployment with the latest version of BGP.
