There seem to be a lot of good guides out there from Cisco, Juniper, and the like, but naturally they are very product oriented. What I'm looking for is more like the Stevens networking bibles (i.e. "BGP Illustrated Vol I and II"). Something that covers more than just the raw protocols, and includes things like RPKI. (The world sure has changed since the last time I was doing this!) Any/all suggestions welcome. https://learn.nsrc.org/bgp
Yes, this. Much of it (all of it?) is presented by Philip Smith, and he's a sufficiently entertaining speaker that it's worth watching even if you are already a bgp "expert". As for books — I used to buy a copy of "BGP4: Inter-Domain Routing in the Internet" by John W Stewart for all of my new hires — https://amzn.to/3VdqdfK . It's really short and sweet, and covers just the stuff that you need to know. It is old at this point (1998!), but still well worth the read. W
