This course has been discontinued.
Last planned examination: Autumn 2014
Decision to discontinue this course:
No information insertedContent and learning outcomes
Course contents
Path vector protocols, BGP4, EBGP, IBGP, BGP-attributes, confederations, router reflectors, communities, route filtering, BGP4 extensions. Interdomain multicast routing and traffic engineering. Extensive lab course.
Labs: Internal and external BGP, L2 and L3-VPN, load balancing, communities, etc.
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to:
- describe how the global Internet works from a routing perspective
- explain how the individual routing domains (Autonomous systems - AS exchange traffic and how traffic is controlled between AS using policies
- in detail describe how path-vector protocols work
- explain how the BGP inter-domain routing protocol works, and in particular how it selects routes
- explain how intra-domain and inter-domain routing interact, as well as how redistribution and aggregation works
- configure routers using inter-domain routing protocols, including BGP
- configure in practice the interaction between an inter-domain and an intra-domain protocol
- describe and configure multicast routing between autonomous systems, for example by using MBGP, BGMP, MSDP and PIM-SM
- describe how tunneling and reservation techniques (such as MPLS/RSVP) can be used for detailed traffic engineering in transit networks
- explain of the scaling of a network design can be improved using route reflectors, confederations and aggregation.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
In this course all the regulations of the code of honor at the School of Computer Science and Communication apply, see: http://www.kth.se/csc/student/hederskodex/1.17237?l=en_UK.
Other requirements for final grade
Examination (TEN1; 3 university credits).

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
