Advanced Routing Workshop (Train-the-Trainer) 

The Advanced Routing Workshop is a comprehensive, hands-on program designed for experienced network professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of BGP and advanced routing concepts. This workshop assumes a good working knowledge of routing fundamentals and builds upon these to explore sophisticated BGP implementations, traffic engineering techniques, and security considerations in today’s complex network environments. 

By the end of this intensive workshop, participants will be equipped with advanced routing expertise to design, implement, and troubleshoot complex routing infrastructures that meet the demands of modern network environments. 

This workshop is part of the Train-the-Trainer program, which is catered to participants who are community champions planning to conduct training and lead capacity-building efforts in their own local community.
