BGPI. (Book Browser).

The present protocol of choice for interdomain routing in the Internet is the Border Gateway Protocol, or BGP. Internet service providers use BGP to inform each other which IP address goes where. BGP is also useful for end-user organizations that want reliable connections to the Internet through two or more ISPS. It's the only protocol that can deal with a network of the Internet's size. It's also the only protocol that can deal well with multiple connections to unrelated routing domains. In the event of a network outage, BGP recomputes the path so packets can avoid the problem area and keep flowing. O'Reilly's latest release, BGP by lljitsch van Beijnum, contains. everything network administrators need to know to run BGP fur regular IPv4 routing in all but the very largest networks. BGP is a guide to all aspects of BGP: the protocol, its configuration and operation in an Internet environment, and how to troubleshoot it. The book also describes how to secure BGP and how BGP can be used to combat Distributed D enial of Service (DDOS) attacks. The examples throughout the book are for Cisco routers, but the techniques discussed can be applied to any BGP-capable router.
