Greetings - I'm pleased to announce a tutorial titled "Introduction to Networking With BGP," to be presented from 7:00-9:00 p.m. on Sunday evening, February 9, the evening before NANOG. Designed for new network operators and ISPs, the tutorial will provide information on practical BGP applications, hints, tips, tricks, and current implementations in today's ISP backbones. "BGP 101" won't be an-depth technical presentation, so if you're already familiar with BGP, you may not wish to attend. The tutorial will be held at the Hyatt. The presenter will be Consulting Engineer Paul Ferguson of Cisco's Business Development group, author of RFCs and Internet Drafts on topics ranging from network renumbering to ingress filtering. To attend the tutorial, you must also be registered for NANOG. If you plan on attending, please send a message to pam@merit.edu with the word 'tutorial' in the header. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Susan R.
