Do you have a link for this? Interested in the corrective action. Also, any suggestions on reading to learn about bgp generally to the specificity one might learn IP/TCP from a networking book?

I don't, sorry, it's in my inbox. The part I snipped is completely unrelated to the incident. As far as BGP goes, Halabi's _Internet Routing Architectures_ [0] is pretty much considered the "bible". It's really old nowadays but it covers BGP4 (the current version in use) and not much has really changed. I'm sure some of the newer BGP books are excellent as well but I can't personally recommend them as IRA and the (old) CCNP BGP book are all I've ever read/used (while preparing for the CCNP certification and in my day job). Of course, pretty much everything is covered in RFC 4271 [1] (and updates) although the RFCs can be a bit "dry".

I wrote a routing protocols tutorial a while ago, that tries not to be overly complex and not "dry". https://github.com/knorrie/network-examples/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/knorrie/network-examples/blob/master/READ... It uses the bird routing daemon on linux to build some networks on the go and see OSPF and BGP happening. Maybe it can help you a bit. :-)

  Thank you for writing and posting this, I'm really enjoying it (and really enjoying the writing style) :-)

  I know this is late, but I’ve also been going through this, learned a ton. Thanks a lot!

I found "BGP4: Inter-domain Routing in the Internet" by John Stewart III [0] to be very approachable. It's likewise ancient by tech world standards (published in 1998!) but that's because, amazingly, BGP has not fundamentally changed in all that time. It's cheap and less than 200 pages; definitely recommend it as a primer. [0]: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0201379511/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/0201379511/
