This section of the Toolbox describes what a network operator needs to do next.

So far we have assumed that the dear reader is a newcomer to peering. The story so far has explained all the terminology and what Internet resources are required.

This section is all about simple deployment scenarios newcomers to BGP and peering will likely encounter.

• Single Upstream with Private Peer
• Single Upstream with Two Private Peers
• Single Upstream with IXP

For other scenarios, the Intermediate section of the Peering Toolbox will cover those in greater detail.
