As I mentioned with voice, I would recommend that if you feel
uncomfortable with a technology area, go through it carefully and try
to pick out similarities with things with which you are familiar.

Apropos of that last point, be very careful about using RFC 1771 as a
reference. It's really pretty obsolete, and has outright errors in
the state machines. Use
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-idr-bgp4-24.txt, which
is just going through the administrative hoops before approval.
We had a final markup conference call on the BGP Convergence
Terminology document that I coauthored with people from Cisco,
Nortel, Nexthop, Juniper, and SAIC. It should go to RFC in a month or
so, assuming no administrative problems. As soon as I get back the
final edits, I will put it on my anonymous FTP server. Since it was
conditionally approved with changes, it won't go back into the
Internet Draft files.
