Description

Advanced course in computer science about routing between autonomous systems. The main part of the course focuses on the relationship between local and global networks and the roles of internal routing and policy routing.

Aims

After the course, the student should be able to:

Describe how the global Internet works from a routing perspective,
Explain how the individual routing domains (Autonomous systems - AS exchange traffic and how traffic is controlled between AS using policies,
In detail describe how path-vector protocols work,
Explain how the BGP inter-domain routing protocol works, and in particular how it selects routes,
Explain how intra-domain and inter-domain routing interact, as well as how redistribution and aggregation works,
Configure routers using inter-domain routing protocols, including BGP,
configure in practice the interaction between an inter-domain and an intra-domain protocol,
Describe and configure multicast routing between autonomous systems, for example by using MBGP, BGMP, MSDP and PIM-SM(not 2008)
Configure routing policies and compare the different approaches using metrics, communities, as-paths, aggregation, and how these are used for steering outbound and ingoing traffic.
Describe how tunneling and reservation techniques (such as MPLS/RSVP) can be used for detailed traffic engineering in transit networks,
Explain of the scaling of a network design can be improved using route reflectors, confederations and aggregation.
