Route Server Video Tutorial Series

IXP Manager Route Server video tutorial series now available via <a href="https://www.ixpmanager.org/support/tutorials">the tutorials section</a>. In all, there's 2.5hrs of brand new and current content on building an automated and secure route server at an IXP. <br><br> Route servers are critical IXP infrastructure and IXPs have a responsibility for ensuring they are resilient, reliable and especially secure in terms of the routes they accept and propagate. <br><br> At <a href="https://www.inex.ie/">INEX</a>, we've been running automated and secure route servers since we first launched the service in 2007. IXP Manager contains all our experience and knowledge and the default templates that ship with the platform are what we use in production. <br><br> We hope this video series brings all our past presentations, workshops and documentation on route servers together in one neat package. The series itself will introduce route servers and explain why they are a critical production service at an exchange; show how you can generate the configuration and automate route servers from IXP Manager; we'll install our own open source looking glass <a href="https://github.com/inex/birdseye">Birdseye</a> too which enables a large amount of route server features within the IXP Manager UI; and then we'll get to the weeds of securing route servers with IRRDB filtering and RPKI.
