Learned a lot from it! BGP always felt a bit intimidating to me, but after this course it didn't ;) Thank you very much NL-ix and Iljitsch van Beijnum!

About Iljitsch

Iljitsch got his start in the Dutch Internet Service Provider business in 1995. He soon realized that in order to maintain more than one connection to the Internet, you need something called "BGP". In 1997, he co-founded Pine Internet (later Pine Digital Security). In 1999, he worked for UUNET Netherlands on designing and implementing a new Dutch high speed backbone based on the UUNET US design.

Iljitsch is also the author of renowned book Internet Routing with BGP.
