At BSDCan, I'll be giving a tutorial "BGP for Sysadmins/Developers". This will be my first class I've taught solo.

My future intentions for this is to teach networking and #BGP for people that know nothing about networking. I found it somewhat difficult to move from Sysadmin to Network Admin, and I want to help others cross over if they want.

Not to mention, having a solid understanding of networking will help you with computers in general.

The goal of this class will be for the students to understand how and why a route is chosen, where it goes, and to send/receive a single route in BGP.

This should be enough to whet someone's interest, and to help them with Data Center Networking that they might be doing at $work.

It is *NOT* intended to teach them enough to run a router on the default-free-zone on the wild internet.

It's only a half-day tutorial, sheesh!

@phessler will it be recorded? BGP's something I need to know about in the crazy world on kubernetes networking (Calico in particular)
