Where does one even start with learning BGP? It always seemed super interesting to me, but not really something that could be dealt with on a small scale, lab type basis. Or am I wrong there?
- ThaDood 4y agoDN42 <https://dn42.eu/Home https://dn42.eu/Home> gets mentioned a lot. Its basically a big dynamic VPN that you can do BGP stuff with. Pretty cool but I could never get my node working properly.
- bpye 4y agoI started setting that up and totally forgot, maybe I should actually try and peer with someone.
- jamal-kumar 4y agoNah Cisco has labs you can download and learn for their networking certifications, which are kinda the standard. Networking talent is kind of hard to find and if you learn that your chances of employment get pretty high.

- nonameiguess 4y agoYou can learn BGP with mininet: https://mininet.org/ https://mininet.org/ You can simulate arbitrarily large networks and internetworks with this, provided you have the hardware to run a large enough number of virtual appliances, but they are pretty lightweight.
- Icathian 4y agoMininet is what the Georgia Tech OMSCS Computer Networking labs use. It's not bad, the two labs that stood out to me were using it to implement BGP and a Distance Vector Routing protocol.
