Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the cornerstone of modern enterprise and service provider networks, enabling scalable and policy-driven interdomain routing. In enterprise environments, BGP is used for multi-homing, traffic engineering, and seamless integration with cloud and SD-WAN architectures.
This lab focuses on advanced BGP concepts such as route filtering, path manipulation using attributes like AS-PATH, MED, and communities, as well as deploying redundancy and failover mechanisms with BGP peering models.
By mastering these techniques, network engineers can optimize routing performance, enhance network resilience, and ensure efficient traffic flow across distributed environments.
