A heavily lab-based study of BGP and MPLS commonly used by large ISPs. Candidates will explore their flexibility in many scenario based implementations as well as highly how to fine-tune them to more diverse situations. Several sections demonstrate pitfalls and workarounds when these protocols are used in conjunction with others.
