NANOG Meeting Presentation Abstract

Tutorial: IP Routing Protocol Scalability: Theory and Examples
Meeting: NANOG23
Date / Time: 2001-10-21 1:30pm - 3:00pm
Room: Jewett Ballroom F-H
Presenters: Speakers:

Alvaro Retana, Cisco Systems

Alvaro Retana is a Technical Leader in Cisco\'s IP Routing Deployment and Scalability Team, where he works first-hand on advanced features in routing protocols. Alvaro was formerly a technical lead for both the Internet Service Provider Support Team and the Routing Protocols Team at the Cisco Technical Assistance Center in Research Triangle Park, NC.
Abstract: This tutorial addresses the building blocks of IP routing protocol scalability (hierarchy, redundancy, and addressing and summarization) along with protocol-specific issues. BGP, ISIS and OSPF configurations and parameters are explored. The examples presented include a set of protocol-specific \"best practices.\"



Intended Audience: Network operators and engineers with IP routing experience. Knowledge of the protocols covered is expected.

- Agenda



Scalability Building Blocks

Relationship to Convergence and Stability

Impact/Use of Hierarchy/Redundancy/Addressing and Summarization


Hierarchy

- Why is hierarchy important?

- Brief overview of service placement (per layer.



Redundancy
- When is redundancy too much?

- IGP Flooding



Addressing and Summarization

-Aggregation Methods per protocol
