What You'll Learn

  1. Explain how BGP routes traffic between autonomous systems using advertised prefixes.
  2. Configure BIRD to announce a service prefix from servers in multiple metros.
  3. Verify anycast failover with curl, traceroute, and locoping while stopping one node.

Rawkode and Jeremy Tanner introduce BGP, covering autonomous systems, prefixes, anycast routing and CDN failover. They then deploy NGINX across two Equinix Metal metros, configure the BIRD daemon, and verify anycast routing with curl, traceroute and Locoping.
