Internet Routing Architectures, Second Edition

Part III: Effective Internet Routing Designs

You are now in a position to begin applying the attributes and functionality of BGP to practical routing problems. Chapter 6 begins this process by examining BGP's attribute manipulation techniques and the use of route filtering in influencing the BGP decision process. Chapter 7 introduces three fundamental design criteria—redundancy, symmetry, and load balancing—that network architects frequently must implement and balance in developing their routing policies. Chapter 8 considers how to integrate BGP with interior protocols, and Chapter 9 considers how to tap BGP's potential for managing large and growing networks. Chapter 10 takes up the problem of network stability, and increasingly challenging ...
