Navigating BGP and SDN in Modern Networking

This chapter explores the critical role of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for organizations with multiple internet connections, highlighting its necessity for redundancy and efficient routing. It also discusses the evolution of networking technologies, particularly the rise of Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), enabling better control and management of complex networks. The conversation emphasizes the integration of traditional routing protocols with modern automation tools, illustrating the importance of expertise in both networking and software engineering.
