Your expertise and experience will help us to develop new frameworks for configuring BGP sessions. I would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your participation will help develop solutions for network operators. https://forms.gle/hUwGJBaE9g72LQbQ6 I will announce the results of the survey on the mailing list where it was posted.
