Designing Fast Converging BGP Networks E-Lesson


Tired of an endless BGP convergence problem? We might have some answers for you. Take our engaging e-learning to improve your knowledge on this topic.

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) was always considered a complex routing protocol with slow convergence. When Cisco decided to use BGP to implement layer-3 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), the convergence of BGP became a liability. Cisco decided to fix the BGP code, resulting in a routing protocol with decent convergence times. In this e-lesson we illustrate how you can optimize BGP convergence in your network without overloading the routers running it. The hands-on remote exercise will enable you to configure fast BGP convergence by yourself.
