[ripe-list] RIPEng

Hi,

let me jump in here - I have been doing BGP trainings over the last few years and my initial idea was just the same, just give everyone a RaspberryPI. But when I tested this (your experience was different from what I read) I spent way too much time debugging PI-issues instead of doing BGP.

So back to the drawing board and my BGP training now uses a docker-based FRRouting.
Source code for my BGP lab is here: https://gitlab.com/de-cix-public/team-academy/bgp/BGPLab
Training materials for BGP (draft!) here: https://de-cix-group.gitlab.io/team-academy/bgp/BGP-Seminar-Documentation/ 

Also I recorded some videos about "Networking Basics", all available for free here:

best regards
Wolfgang

Discuss subnetting, give them subnets. Configure static routes. Then connect to others at the table, see why dynamic routing is easier, learn OSPF. Day 2, start connecting with other tables: BGP. Security along the way, of course. The "households" might be minihardware designed to accept DHCPv6 and ping from a specific address to a specific address and turn green when ping succeeds. Routers might be Bird on something with a handful of ports. I haven't spent much time on it--suggestions welcome.
