Frequently Asked Question on BGP
What is BGP?
The main role of BGP is to provide communication between two autonomous systems.
What is an Autonomous System?
The Internet is a network of networks, and the large networks that comprise the Internet are autonomous systems. More precisely, a big network or collection of networks with a single routing policy is called an autonomous system (AS).
What are BGP attributes?
Well-known required: Incorporated into all Update messages, acknowledged by all BGP peers, and transmitted to all peers. Well-known required qualities consist of:- AS PATH, Next-hop, Origin. Popular discretionary: acknowledged by every router, transmitted to every peer, and conceivably added to the update message.
What is BGP Peering?
Establishing a direct physical connection between two networks—typically by one or more 10GE fibers—is how private peering is carried out.
What is the BGP routing table ?
The primary IP routing table, or BGP Routing Table, only includes the best routes. The optimal path to a network is added to the primary IP routing table by BGP once it has been determined.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
The protocol can connect any internetwork of the autonomous system using an arbitrary topology. The only requirement is that each AS have at least one router that can run BGP and that is the router connected to at least one other AS’s BGP router. BGP’s main function is to exchange network reachability information with other BGP systems. Border Gateway Protocol constructs an autonomous systems graph based on the information exchanged between BGP routers.
