  TROUBLESHOOTING BGP/MPLS ON CISCO AND JUNIPER DEVICES Mastering the Basics: Troubleshooting BGP/MPLS on Cisco and Juniper Devices Introduction: In the intricate world of networking, BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) and MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) are fundamental technologies that enable efficient, scalable, and robust communication across vast and diverse infrastructures. Understanding how to troubleshoot these protocols in Cisco and Juniper devices is essential for maintaining a smooth operational network. Today, we’ll dive into some practical tips to help you navigate common issues with these technologies. Understanding BGP/MPLS Basics: BGP : As the backbone of the internet, BGP makes routing decisions based on paths, network policies, or rule sets, which allows it to be very flexible and robust. However, it can also be complex and challenging to troubleshoot. MPLS : MPLS enhances the flow of traffic on a network by making data forwarding decisions based on short path labels
