The main objective of the "Routing Registry Training Course" is to
familiarise the LIRs with the features of the Routing Registry, while
introducing the relevant tools and services of the RIPE NCC. The course
also offers practical exercises.

OVERVIEW OF TOPICS COVERED IN THE COURSE:
- Routing Registry as a part of the RIPE Whois Database and the
Internet Routing Registry (IRR)
- Specifying routing policies using (RPSL)
Routing Policy Specification Language and the RtConfig tool
- IRRToolSet
- Routing Information Service (RIS)
- Routing Registry Consistency Check Project

Please note that this is an advanced course. It will:
- NOT teach the basics of routing
- NOT teach the basics of RIPE Database operations,
- NOT describe how to receive Internet resources from the RIPE NCC
- NOT describe how to operate a Local Internet Registry (LIR)

The target audience of the course are technical staff of LIRs: e.g.
network operators, engineers etc. This course is not intended for
administrative or management staff (e.g. Hostmasters) .
It is assumed that all attendees will be familiar with
Border Gateway Protocol routing and with the RIPE Database
(i.e. creating/modifying objects).

This course is based on interactive exercises in a local network set-up.
Please bring your laptops equipped with the following:
- A working Ethernet card,
- Three meters of Ethernet cable,
- A secure connection client,
- A web browser.

Please be prepared to share your laptop (or at least allow another
attendee to "look over your shoulder") if necessary.

Please note that the Routing Registry  Training Course is conducted in
the English language and is free of charge to attend. The cost of the Course
is covered by the members contribution every LIR pays when setting up.

You can register two participants from your LIR per Course.
If you would like to register more than two people, then please
contact us and we will see if extra places are available.
