I was often asked about two emerging technologies that enable standard controller-based WAN traffic engineering: BGP-LS to extract the network topology and PCEP to establish end-to-end tunnels from a controller.

Unfortunately, I never found time to explore these emerging technologies and develop a webinar. However, after Julian Lucek from Juniper did such a great job on the NorthStar podcast, I asked him whether he would be willing to do a deep dive technology webinar on the two technologies and he graciously agreed to do it.

Even better, because Julian is working for a vendor he decided that the webinar should be free, so all you have to do to attend it is to register on this page.

Notes

• Don’t worry about Julian working for a vendor; the presentation will focus on technology aspects of BGP-LS and PCEP, not on specific products;
• I you don’t know why you should care about the two technologies read this post (and the comments) and listen to Software Gone Wild Episode 43.
