Day One: Deploying BGP Routing Security
This Day One book is intended for network administrators running Junos OS routers in the BGP default-free zone. It provides field-tested device and protocol configurations for creating a secure and stable network, as well as brief background information needed to understand and deploy these solutions in your own environment. While many network administrators may find the contents of this book interesting, its real value is to those running a BGP network without having a default route present in their network (or accepting such a route from their upstream provider)–the default-free zone.

Niels Raijer was introduced to e-mail, Gopher and USENET in 1993 as part of his Chemical Engineering education at the University of Amsterdam, and decided that they were what all businesses in the world would need. After graduation he founded Fusix Networks in 1997. Having worked for Demon Internet and other ISPs since then, he is now CTO of Fusix Networks, responsible for providing network consultancy and connectivity services where the keywords are security, stability, and speed.
