This course breaks IP routing technologies into two fundamental pieces: an in depth study of Interior and then Exterior Gateway Protocols (IGPs and EGPs). The IGPs investigation focuses on the study of early versions of Distance Vector Protocols and then the technical details of the modern Link State Protocols such as Open Shortest Path First (OSFP). The EGP investigation focuses on the current version of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP4) and its use on the Internet. The class will be augmented with lab time and real world examples.
