BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
Search Networking, Thursday, June 1,2023
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the protocol that enables the global routing system of the internet. It manages how packets get routed from network to network by exchanging routing and reachability information among edge routers.
BGP enables peering to send packets between autonomous systems (ASes), which are networks managed by a single enterprise or service provider. Together, these ASes make up the public internet.
BGP creates network stability by guaranteeing that routers can adapt to route failures. When one path goes down, BGP quickly finds a new path. BGP makes routing decisions based on paths, defined by rules or network policies set by network administrators.
