TREX is pleased to host a workshop on multi-exit BGP together with sponsors Juniper Networks and Cisco Systems. The workshop will be held on Thursday, February 12th 2009 at the Hermia1 Auditorium in Tampere from 12:00 to 17:00 and will continue in the Hermia1 Sauna until 04:00. The workshop will be of value to anyone interested in arranging multiple peering or transit locations in their network, and anyone interested in peering at TREX Regional Exchanges Oy.
Multi-exit BGP refers to the case where two operators have multiple interconnections in different places, such as on internet exchanges in different cities. Adopting this practise often warrants a rethinking of traffic engineering and peering policies.
