BGP, MPLS & IS-IS: Essential to Expert

This program is built for people who want to master the real backbone of the internet: BGP, MPLS, and IS-IS. These technologies run global ISPs, telecom networks, data centers, enterprise WANs, and cloud routing infrastructures. At Techboxx, we teach them the way they are used in real service provider environments, and not just in textbooks. You will build routing topologies from scratch, troubleshoot convergence issues, configure label switching, and understand how large networks stay stable and scalable. This is a deep, hands on, engineering level course. If you want to level up beyond CCNA-level routing and actually learn how the internet works at scale, this program is built for you.

Certifications & career paths

BGP and routing fundamentals in your program directly support the ENCOR exam. IS IS is part of the routing blueprint. Traffic engineering concepts overlap with ENCOR infrastructure topics.
Because every serious network: ISP, Telecom, Cloud, and Data Centre still runs on these protocols. SD-WAN and cloud haven’t replaced them. They run on top of them.
If you practice properly, yes. BGP and MPLS engineers are rare. ISPs and large enterprises look for exactly these skills.
Not for this course. It is pure routing.
Yes. Many global carriers rely on IS-IS for their IGP. It scales better and is more stable for very large networks
No. Cloud companies, financial institutions, and even large enterprises need deep routing skills, especially BGP.
Unlearning small-network thinking and learning to think like a service provider engineer. It’s a mindset shift.
You’ll troubleshoot more than you configure. Real SP work is problem solving.
Usually 6–8 weeks of practice. The more you break and fix the lab, the faster you grow.
Yes. This program builds the foundation needed for CCNP SP and CCIE SP topics.
It’s only difficult because people learn it conceptually instead of practically. Once you build topologies yourself, it becomes logical.
Because most global WANs still use MPLS L3VPN. Companies want engineers who understand both routing and transport.
Because networking students were stuck at CCNA/CCNP-level skills, while the real industry needs engineers who understand large-scale routing.
You won’t be left alone. We break down topics, repeat labs, and guide you until the fog clears. Deep networking takes time, and that’s normal.
Because advanced routing cannot be learned theoretically. You must configure, break, and fix things to understand how they really work.
Yes, upon successful completion of the training program, you receive a Techboxx completion certificate. This demonstrates your training completion and can be valuable for career advancement.
Yes, we provide customized corporate training programs for organizations looking to upskill their security teams. These programs can be tailored to specific organizational needs, conducted on-site or remotely, and include custom lab scenarios based on the company's infrastructure.
We offer a flexible refund policy: 100% refund if cancelled 7 days before course start, 50% refund within first week of training. No refunds are available after 1 week, but we offer credit towards future courses.
Yes, we offer free one-on-one consultation sessions for prospective students. This personalized 1-hour session allows you to have a direct conversation with our mentors. You can ask questions about your career goals, assess your current skill level, discuss the training approach, and get guidance on your career journey. These sessions can be conducted online via Google Meet, Zoom, or other video conferencing platforms for your convenience, or you can visit our office for an in-person consultation. This interaction helps you make an informed decision about enrolling in our program.

The practical work we did laid the foundation of my entire future career.

I connected with Junaid Sir on the first attempt. His confidence is out of this world. The knowledge he has and the practical work we did laid the foundation of my future career. Techboxx helped resurrect my career, and a year after finishing I'm happy with where I am. I'd recommend every youngster start training in their final year of college.

Before Techboxx I was dazed and confused about my career. I could not have made a better decision.

Before Techboxx I was dazed, confused, not certain about my career. I was interested in computers but couldn't pinpoint my choice. After Techboxx, I don't think I could have made a better decision. Things that once seemed impossible to understand, Techboxx made possible, especially the tutors, Junaid Sir and Umer Sir, the best trainers I could ever have.

Techboxx is the best career launchpad. I joined their Cybersecurity Career Program.

I would say Techboxx is the best career launchpad. I joined one of their Cybersecurity Career Programs, 'CyberXpert Shield: Network Security Engineer'. It's been a month since I completed my training and it has set me up perfectly.

If I ever did something great to shape my career, it was joining Techboxx.

If I had done something great in my life to shape my career, it was to join Techboxx. The community there is incredibly helpful. You're always boosted by people who have been through it and achieved so much. The way of teaching is extraordinary, and the shaping of mindset, mainly by Umer Sir, is wonderful. It's worth investing your time and money in Techboxx to shape your career.
