What is BGP?
Autonomous System (AS) is the basic unit of routing, and BGP is the specific routing protocol used to exchange routing information between two distinct ASes on the Internet. Thus, one of the significant developments in BGP for the management of the size of the routing table as well as for the improvement of the network efficiency is the route aggregation and route summarization. These techniques help to minimize the number of routes that need to be advertised and in return those that need to be maintained hence leading to a scalable and qualitative network.
BGP Route Aggregation and Route Summarization
BGP route aggregation and route summarization are key techniques used to optimize the routing process in large networks. Route aggregation involves combining multiple specific IP routes into a single, broader route, reducing the number of routes that need to be advertised and maintained.
In this article, we are going to discuss BGP in detail along with proper diagrams and explanations.
