Day One: Deploying Junos® Route Servers
This Day One book targets network engineers, designers, and architects who are involved in Internet Exchange Point (IXP) operations and intend to deploy Junos® OS-based route servers. The Junos OS has included EBGP Route Server requirements since 17.4R1, and is considered a feature rich, high-performing route server implementation. Barth and Aelmans provide Junos implementation tips and tricks, as well as general Internet Exchange configuration considerations such as the usage of policies, communities, and routing security methods like IRR/RPKI. Also covered are RS scaling, filtering, and validation issues.
