Sessions
Introduction to BGP workshop same as the last time at Hamburg for Sunday. Participants should be familiar with IP, IP prefixes and routing as such - we will not start from scratch. Prior knowledge of BGP is not required. Bring a laptop as there will be some lab-experiments!
RFC9234 allows to assign a role to each BGP neighbors. Roles can be matched when setting up sessions and a transitive attribute is added to prefixes which should be announced to customers only.
