BGP - Newbie Documentation

All,

  Does anyone have some really good in-depth reading material on BGP for
beginners? I've been handed the reigns of BGP administration for our
network, but I would still consider myself very much a newbie to
this... Some decent how-to's and accepted standards would be great...

Thanks!

My apologies.. I should have read the FAQ... I'll be over here in the
corner shooting myself in the foot if anyone needs me...

I highly recommend Iljitsch's book:

BGP
Written by Iljitsch van Beijnum
Published by O'Reilly and Associates
ISBN 0-596-00254-8

It has helped me a lot.

Best place I would recommend to start would be the ietf webiste (look for
