Border Gateway Protocol or BGP for short, is the standardized, open protocol that allows ISPs of all sizes to form routing relationships with other ISPs, carriers, and Internet Exchanges. Theo will talk about challenges he has faced operating his own personal BGP Autonomous System (as395089) since April 2016. With nearly two decades experience working with Manitoban ISP networks, Theo has long toiled behind the scenes of many ISPs and enterprises bringing the Internet to people. He continues to be involved in the local Internet provider community through things like the Manitoba Internet Exchange (MBIX), and the Manitoba Network Operator Group (MBNOG), and currently holds a director position on the MBIX board, as well as a volunteer network operator role at MBIX.
