Best Common Practices

For those of you who don’t know, the IETF publishes these documents called BCPs (Best Common Practice). These documents are useful to see what the Internet community believes is a best practice for a particular deployment type. I think these could be useful for CCDE study – not only because one of them is referred to on the written outline (BCP38) – but because they contain some very useful design information. BCP121, for example, contains MSDP deployment scenarios.

Here’s the full listing of BCP documents.

BCP128 – Avoiding ECMP in MPLS networks looks interesting.
