What is BGP? - Border Gateway Protocol

What is BGP? Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to Exchange routing information for the internet and is the protocol used between ISP which are different ASes. Border Gateway Protocol is the protocol that makes the Internet work. Networks or autonomous systems that need to interact with each other do so through peering, which is made possible with BGP. BGP - Border Gateway Protocol Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the postal service of the Internet. When someone drops a letter into a mailbox, the postal service processes that piece of mail and chooses a fast, efficient route to deliver that letter to its recipient. Similarly, when someone submits data across the Internet, BGP is responsible for looking at all of the available paths that data could travel and picking the best route, which usually means hopping between autonomous systems. BGP is the protocol that makes the Internet work. It does this by enabling data routing on the Internet. When a user in Singapore...

How Routing Protocol Works? - Explained Routing Protocols

Routing Protocol : A  routing protocol  is an algorithm that gives a  Router  the ability to learn (dynamically) about specific existing networks around it (or even the Internet). Practically, these  routing protocols  help routers learn dynamically about each other without the need for an administrator to intervene. How Routing Protocol Works? In all network the Routing Protocol perform below functions: 1.     Discovery  – identify other routers on the network 2.     Route management  – keep track of all the possible destinations (for network messages) along with some data describing the pathway of each 3.     Path determination  – make dynamic decisions for where to send each network message A few routing protocols (called link-state protocols) enable a router to build and track a full map of all network links in a region while others (called distance...
