Other areas of interest also include Internet routing, Internet protocols, IPv6, and encouraging the growth of the Internet around the world. Prior to joining Cisco, he spent five years at PIPEX (now part of UUNET\'s global ISP business), the UK\'s first commercial Internet Service Provider. He was one of the first engineers working in the UK Internet, and played a fundamental role in building the modern Internet in the UK and Europe.

Abstract: This tutorial introduces service providers to some advanced BGP features and techniques to aid with operating their networks within the Internet. After a recap of iBGP, eBGP, and common attributes, the tutorial will look at the various scaling techniques available, when to use BGP instead of an IGP, and policy options available through the use of local preference, MED, and communities. The tutorial then describes deployment techniques, including aggregation, announcing and receiving prefixes, and some of the newer features available.
