Bgp

by Iljitsch van Beijnum

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol used to exchange routing information across the Internet. It makes it possible for ISPs to connect to each other and for end-users to connect to more than one ISP. BGP is the only protocol that is designed to deal with a network of the Internet's size, and the only protocol that can deal well with having multiple connections to unrelated routing domains. This book 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 as a tool in combating Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Although the examples throughout this book are for Cisco routers, the techniques discussed can be applied to any BGP-capable router. "BGP is for anyone interested in creating reliable connectivity to the Internet.

Terrible. The information in this book is really general and basic. You get more in detail knowledge from wikipedia BGP article... I do admit that it contains some practical hints but in general it's not worth the money. Cisco Press BGP design and implementation is much much better.

A little out of date (published in 2002), but still very relevant. Concepts well explained, with some good insights on the day to day practical nature of running a network.
