27 BGP
The BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is an interautonomous system routing protocol. An
autonomous system is a network or group of networks under a common administration and with
common routing policies. BGP is a protocol for exchanging routing information between gateway
hosts (each with its own router) in a network of autonomous systems and is used between
Internet service providers (ISP). BGP is often the protocol used between gateway hosts on the
Internet. The routing table contains a list of known routers, the addresses they can reach, and a
cost metric associated with the path to each router so that the best available route is chosen.
Hosts using BGP communicate using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and send updated
router table information only when one host has detected a change. BGP is commonly used
within and between Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The protocol is defined in RFC 1771.
The list of CLI commands for the configuration of BGP is as follows:
