Hello and welcome to
scaling iBGP neighborships.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,040
In this skill,
we're really going

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,830
to be exploring how
to prevent having

6
00:00:17,830 --> 00:00:22,120
to have a full mesh
of iBGP neighborships

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,840
because full meshes
don't scale very well.

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,470
Of course, the fundamental
problem is in BGP,

9
00:00:29,470 --> 00:00:31,880
we have a rule of split horizon.

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,190
Which means that if I receive
iBGP updates from one iBGP

11
00:00:36,190 --> 00:00:39,380
peer, I cannot send
them out to another.

12
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:42,070
Therefore, the only way to
get all the updates through

13
00:00:42,070 --> 00:00:44,080
would be to have a full mesh.

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,570
But of course, we can't do
that in most environments.

15
00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:49,840
So we do have two
major technologies

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,210
that we can use
to alleviate this.

17
00:00:52,210 --> 00:00:53,980
We have confederations.

18
00:00:53,980 --> 00:00:55,960
And we have route reflectors.

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,780
And these can be used either
separately or together.

20
00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:01,930
So what we're going to
be doing in this skill

21
00:01:01,930 --> 00:01:05,800
is building a BGP network
from the ground up,

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,450
using a combination of
confederations and route

23
00:01:10,450 --> 00:01:11,600
reflectors.

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,110
So in our first
video here, we're

25
00:01:14,110 --> 00:01:16,750
going to be jumping in and
putting together an entire game

26
00:01:16,750 --> 00:01:19,660
plan, as far as what we're
going to be building.

27
00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:21,910
So we have a lot of things
we're going to be covering.

28
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:24,130
It's going to be a lot of
fun building this network

29
00:01:24,130 --> 00:01:25,400
from the ground up.

30
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,760
So I'll see you
in the next video

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,570
to put our game plan together.

32
00:01:30,570 --> 00:01:34,000
