The best way to learn BGP is using a network simulator such as GNS3. This way you can use industry-standard configurations and experiment with various failover scenarios. Http://gns3.org. There are tons of tutorials out there using Cisco BGP router syntax. -mel beckman

Hey, first post so sorry if it's misguided. I'm curious about the BGP implementation in Google compute engine that allows you to define routing policy using private ASN numbers. How similar is it in terms of learning about BGP as a broader concept, or is it all smoke and mirrors?
I'm not in a position where iBGP would benefit me in any other context than learning so I'm keen not to bother if it's too abstracted from a real world scenario.
