======================================
The Internet's routing architecture uses a division of the network into
discrete routing domains, or Autonomous Systems. What is appropriate for a
routing protocol to operate within a routing domain is somewhat different to
the requirements for routing between these domains. This tutorial will look at
Inter-Domain Routing (IDR) from the perspective of the IETF work in this area.

The tutorial will cover the basics of routing protocol operation and look at
the specification of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and the various
refinements that the IETF has made in recent times to this protocol, and some
of the current burning issues in inter-domain routing. This is not a tutorial
about how to deploy or operate BGP in your network!
