T1.7 Routing Policy Specification Language and Analysis Tools

Instructor:

Cengiz Alaettinoglu

David Kessens

Who should attend?

Network engineers who are interested in extending thier network management to support policy based routing.

Description:

The APNIC, together with the USC Information Sciences Institute and Qwest Communications will be organizing an in-depth tutorial on Internet Routing Coordination.

In the tutorial, we will introduce the Internet Routing Registry (IRR), explaining how to register and query routing policy objects. After a brief introduction to routing policies (policies as used in the Internet today and BGP mechanisms to implement those policies), we will discuss the new Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL), the IETF proposed standard language for specifying Internet routing policy. RPSL is currently being deployed by IRR participants and will replace RIPE-181, the current IRR routing policy specification language. RPSL provides substantial extensions to RIPE-181, making it possible to specify a much richer set of routing policies. In addition we present and demonstrate several IRR policy analysis tools, including RtConfig to configure routers, roe to reconcile route objects with actual routes on the Internet, and aoe to easily specify common policies.

Attendees should understand basic BGP operations, but need not be familiar with the IRR.
