DN42, give it a try. I did some of that at one point of time, but stopped because it just kinda ends there, it's like a meshed VPN actually (but with "peering" w/ other people and some sort of registry for all these.)
Personally I have been going on bgp.he.net to see how networks peer with one another, fascinating stuff.
(if anyone has any guides too, do shoot me with them, I'm very interested actually)
The CCNA / CCNP / CCIE coures? Those are expensive though.
Why do you need to learn BGP in the first place? 99% of the people in the IT industry don't need to know it or care about it.
Anyway you can start by reading the RFC - RFC4271 -
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4271
Whats wrong in learning new things ? we dont always need to do but we still do it because we dont want to stand in the same place forever. Don't you think like that ?
@Caster absolutely nothing wrong, but i think it would be more profitable long term to learn things like writing android and ios apps for instance
@Caster: If you've got a box at home that has some decent power for a few VMs, you can spin up CentOS or Ubuntu and install Quagga/Zebra. That will allow you the ability to create an in-home BGP network, learn how they peer, and all the fun stuff that goes along with it. Quagga syntax is very Cisco-esque.

Love DN42.
This looks interesting.
By box can i setup on Rpi's ? i have a bunch of them lying arround and a router that connecting them all. Or VirtualBox vm's with inter network ?
also when people say "public vlan" or "private vlan" does that mean physical routers ?
@Caster: I use a decently powered machine with a lot of RAM and run VirtualBox on it, with some different host-only networks which allow me to simulate public and private vlans.
by "a lot of ram" you mean like 32G or 96G ?
@Caster: I'd say anything over 16GB if the machine is dedicated to this project. Anything above 32GB is overkill in my opinion, unless you're trying to use it in a production environment (but WHY would you do that? =P).
Thanks a lot.
both DN42
and
http://xmodulo.com/turn-centos-box-into-ospf-router-quagga.html
is tempting.
DN42 looks well documented and Object and etc stuff looks what i had used earlier :P
DN42 or you could get a AS number from a LIR and do peering with HE etc.
GNS3 could help too.
A noob question i am posting again.
say i have a /22
and want to divide it to 4x/24 to announce from multiple locations , what i do for that ? just normal annoucement ?
Yep, you could announce it as split /24's and just not have the aggregated block not announced.
Francisco
This is how i did it:
1: Look for a job at a NOC
2: Get said job
3: Learn BGP
3.1: What i'm i doing here again?
on a level of 1-10 you are the most retarded person i have ever seen
Or just use Vyos, although the CLI is closer to juniper than Cisco (or so I've been told, not worked on Juniper kit... Yet)
Syntax on VyOS may look like juniper, but the commands are mostly cisco/quagga style (in the background, there is quagga)
I'd recommend quagga for beginning with BGP.
Use something like VyOS in VMs.
It makes very little sense to work directly with routing daemons, unless that is a niche you you are looking to get into.
You can easily Google all kinds of info on BGP. It's not particularly difficult.
