Hello, and welcome to Implementing BGP Advanced
Features.
In this skill, we're going to jump in and look specifically
at two advanced features in BGP that are a little more
in-depth than some of the other things we've looked at so far.
We're going to start off by looking at BGP route dampening.
This is an important feature because if routes
are constantly being advertised and withdrawn in BGP,
BGP will constantly be in a state of convergence,
and that's certainly not good either for our service provider
network or for the internet as a whole.
The other thing we're going to look at
is some methods that we can use to increase BGP's performance
when it comes to converging.
Now this, we have to, of course, approach with some caution
because if we increase BGP performance too much,
well, that can affect its stability and the stability
of the router that it's running on,
so we have to keep a close eye on the resources.
And these are all the things that we're going
to be exploring in this skill.
So a lot of fun stuff to look at.
Let's jump in and get started.
I'll see you in the next video.
