Depending on how many years since you last looked at BGP, you may be shocked at 
how many address families BGP now carries… it’s very Multi-Protocol now.  MP-BGP

I’ll always remember how informative the Basam Halabi book was.  Also the Ivan 
Peplnjak MPLS VPN book.  Both have a couple editions.  Those are oldies but 
goodies.  More recently is MPLS in the SDN era.  But it seems the SR/SPRING 
will be the most recent topics to study, I think that’s were BGP-LU comes in.  
I need to get a book and read too

Hello,

my two cents.

For a general overview:
Internet Routing with BGP, van Beijnum, Iljitsch on Amazon/Kindle, 2022

For deep dive:
Troubleshooting BGP: A Practical Guide to Understanding and Troubleshooting,

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.

If you are looking for BGP in DC (either unicast and/or VPN) we (Jeff Doyle and I) have published a significant number of podcasts on “between 0x2 nerds”(from basic BGP to EVPN to BGP security to HW) - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMYH1xDLIabuZCr1Yeoo39enogPA2yJB7Cheers,JeffOn Apr 27, 2023, at 15:37, Warren Kumari  wrote:On Tue, Apr 25, 2023 at 7:20 PM, Steven G.
