Have you recently learned that BGP is a thing and would like to get a better understanding of it?
(Or brush up on knowledge you already had?)
Here's a great resource on what BGP does as well as what tools you can use to explore it further:

@mcfate Agreed. I'm not a network guy so if I'm having to worry about BGP something has gone horrifically wrong... but I still enjoy learning more about stuff I don't fully understand.
That's fine, I just find it a little bizarre imagining people diving into studying hydrodynamics when they discover they've got a leak in their faucet.
@mcfate I also started learning German after watching Dark on Netflix. It doesn't take much to send me down a rabbithole of discovery!
I try to be a little more focused than that. I'd rather be good at a few things than almost competent, kinda, at a lot of things.
@mcfate Jedem das Seine. 😜
@john_b This is good write-up, thanks for sharing.
@szethsonson I'm glad you found it useful!
@john_b
I know what BGP is, and honestly, if it works right, there's absolutely no reason at all why I should have to.
