Depends on the definition of enterprise I suppose.. If you want to build the
backbone level with similarity to a service provider backbone (for example a
large enterprise network backbone), then go to www.nanog.org and in the previous
nanog meetings, Philip Smith from Cisco has some excellent presentations about
SP BGP configuration with a few sample configs and a case study.

IMHO, I'd use IBGP at the core. Run EBGP with upstreams, and any downstream
sites requiring bgp hookup to the backbone.
