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

The Toolbox so far has explained all the terminology and what Internet resources are required for newcomers to BGP and to peering.

This section completes the introduction by looking at simple deployment scenarios newcomers will likely encounter.

• Connectivity to another entity
• Single Upstream
• Single Upstream and Private Peer
• Single Upstream and Two Private Peers
• Single Upstream and IXP

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