\_ relating to Border Gateway Protocol, what is STFW?
\_ I know this is probably a troll, but STFW==Search
The Fucking Web. Kind of similar to RTFM.
\_ And this "Web" thingy - where can I get my hands on one?
\_ I'll put its entirety on a floppy. 3.5" or 5.25"?
\_ Or 8" single-sided?
\- it stands for border gateway protocol. without going into
great detail it for internet routing ... like RIP, RIP2, ISIS,
OSPF etc. ok tnx.
\_ I'd like to know these things. What's a good first step?
I'm not a student anymore so I can't take classes.
\_ I found prep classes for the CCNA (Cisco exam) to be
a very good introductory step to basic routing, if
you're not too familiar with it. There are some good
books by Cisco press, which explain the same material
very well, if you don't mind a bit of a Cisco spin.
http://www.routergod.com has introduction to the same
stuff, by REAL CELEBRITIES! And to answer your original
question, BGP is a routing protocol generally used to
separate routing entities, such as OSPF 'areas', from
each other (for example a company's nets in countries A
and B). -John
\_ Why do you feel that you can't take classes?
