BGP Labs: Build Larger Networks with IBGP
After going through the BGP basics, it’s time to build a network that has more than one BGP router in it, starting with the simplest possible topology: a site with two WAN edge routers.

TL&DR: Violating the Betteridge’s Law of Headlines, the answer is “Yes, but the devil is in the details.”
It all started with the following observation by Minh Ha left as a comment to my previous BGP session security blog post:
I’d think it’d be obvious for BGP routers to only accept incoming sessions from configured BGP neighbors, right? Because BGP is the most critical infrastructure, the backbone of the Internet, why would you want your router to accept incoming session from anyone but KNOWN sources?
Following my “opinions are good, facts are better” mantra, I decided to run a few tests before opinionating1.
