Why this program matters

  • Without advanced BGP expertise, 65% of inter-domain outages last more than 4h, costing companies an average of 500k€/incident.

  • Uncontrolled BGP leaks expose you to massive hijackings, like the 10+ major cases in 2023 impacting millions of users.

  • Teams without BGP skills lose 40% of time on routing debugging, hindering cloud scalability.

  • In 2025, 82% of senior NOC positions require expert BGP, risking your career progression against certified competitors.

  • Act before the next critical outage.

Program

BGP curriculum: 4 modules over 4 days

Module 1 : Advanced BGP Fundamentals: eBGP/iBGP Configuration (Cisco IOS-XR, Juniper Junos, GNS3)

Dive into expert configuration of external and internal BGP sessions on Cisco and Juniper routers via GNS3 labs, explore essential BGP attributes like AS-Path and Next-Hop, implement route reflectors for scaling, practical exercises on realistic multi-AS topologies, produce tested and optimized configurations for rapid convergence, with code review by the trainer for immediate enterprise mastery.

Module 2 : BGP Policies and Scaling: Route-Maps, Prefix-Lists, Communities (ExaBGP, Bird Tools)

Develop sophisticated BGP policies using route-maps and prefix-lists for fine-grained filtering, attribute manipulation via extended communities, practical labs on scaling with full-mesh iBGP and confederations, use of ExaBGP and Bird for massive simulations, real-world telecom operator cases, create deployable policies tested in real-time, directly enhancing skills for resilient enterprise architectures.

Module 3 : BGP Security: RPKI, BGPsec, and Attack Mitigation (BGP FlowSpec, RTBH)

Secure your BGP sessions with RPKI deployment for ROA validation, implement BGPsec for path protection, labs on attacks like hijacking and blackholing via FlowSpec/RTBH, tools like Hurricane Electric RPKI and bgpstream, exercises on early leak detection, produce concrete mitigation plans applied to your infrastructure, transforming your networks into impenetrable fortresses against current threats.

Module 4 : BGP Troubleshooting and Optimization: Advanced Monitoring and Tuning (Zebra/Bird, bgpq3)

Master BGP diagnostics with advanced logs, show/debug commands on Cisco/Juniper, tuning for sub-ms convergence via BFD and dampening, monitoring labs with Prometheus/Grafana and bgpq3 for validation, resolution of real peering incident cases, final optimization of your end-to-end project, delivery of production-ready troubleshooting playbooks, boosting your expertise for an expert NOC career.

BGP training: access and practical arrangements

The BGP Training - Optimizing Secure Inter-Domain Routing program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the BGP Training - Optimizing Secure Inter-Domain Routing program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the BGP Training - Optimizing Secure Inter-Domain Routing program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your BGP training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
