APDIP, in co-operation with CISCO Systems, hosted the first Internetworking Technology (ISP/IXP BACKBONE) Workshop in Kuala Lumpur from 23 - 27 November 1998. CISCO Systems, leading supplier of networking products, provides equipment and highly skilled trainers to conduct this workshop.

This Workshop covers topics on Network Access Technologies , Internetworking Devices, Internet Protocol (IP) routing, Top Level Domains (TLDs) and procedures for domain registration. Essentially, it includes hands-on tutorials on routing configurations alongside technical explanations.

Who should attend: Technical staff planning to build or operate a wide area TCP/IP base Internet Service Provider (ISP) network or Internet eXchange Point (IXP), likely with international and/or multi-provider connectivity.

Prerequisites: Cisco IOS Fundamentals; user level UNIX and maybe some system administration; some use of network design, preferably TCP/IP-based. Ideally all attendees will have completed the Cisco ICRC course.

What you will learn:

Techniques for design, setup, and operation of a metropolitan, regional, or national ISP backbone network. This includes advanced OSPF, BGP4, and policy based routing configurations.
IOS Essentials every ISP should be doing. The hidden secrets that all key NSPs have been using for years, but not telling anyone (i.e. competitive advantage).
Techniques for multiple connections to the Internet (multihoming), including connections to IXPs, NSP, and transoceanic Internet links.
Techniques for the design, setup, and operation of metropolitan, regional, or national IXPs.
Detailed knowledge of routing, network troubleshooting, routing protocols, domain name system, NIC name and address coordination.
Examples from a case study from successful ISPs who are making use of many of the workshop techniques.

Lectures, whitepapers, books and hands-on laboratory exercises focused to teaching the participants how to design, scale, and maintain an Internet Service Provider backbone are provided. In the next few weeks we will make available the final curriculum. The following is a preliminary schedule:

Workshop Introduction;
ISP Network and Routing Architecture;
Network Access Technologies.
ISP Security;
Multihoming and Internet eXchange Points: Design, Peering, Security;
Advanced BGP and Policy Routing;
ISP Case Studies;
Internet Protocol (IP) routing labs, hands-on with one router and workstation every 3 participants; and,
Top Level Domains (TLDs) fundamentals and procedures for domain registration.
