Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
May 11, 2024
4 minute read
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a protocol used for exchanging routing and reachability information between autonomous systems (ASes) on the Internet. It is a path vector routing protocol, which means that it advertises the paths that it has learned to other ASes. BGP is used to determine the best path to a destination network, taking into account factors such as cost, reliability, and policy.
How BGP Works
BGP operates on a peer-to-peer basis, with each AS exchanging routing information with its neighbors. When an AS learns of a new route, it advertises that route to its neighbors. The neighbors then evaluate the route and either accept it or reject it. If a neighbor accepts a route, it advertises that route to its own neighbors. This process continues until the route is either withdrawn or reaches its destination.
BGP Features
BGP has a number of features that make it well-suited for use on the Internet. These features include:
