BGP and BGP4+ Introduction
Term
CIDR
Description
Classless
| External BGP (eBGP) | Refers to how a router views a BGP peer relationship, where the |
| |
|
| peer is in another AS (Autonomous System). See also Internal |
| |
|
| BGP (iBGP), where the peer is in the same AS. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Interior Gateway | A routing protocol designed to be used to exchange routing |
|
|
| Protocol (IGP) | information inside a single autonomous system. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| Internal BGP (iBGP) | A characteristic of a BGP neighbor relationship, specifically |
|
|
|
| when the two routers are internal to the same BGP ASN. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| neighbor | Another router with which a router decides to exchange routing |
| |
|
| information. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| Neighbor Type | Either external BGP (eBGP), confederation eBGP, or internal BGP |
| |
|
| (iBGP). The term refers to a peer connection and whether the |
|
|
|
| peers are in different ASs (eBGP), different confederation |
|
|
|
| systems (confederation eBGP), or in the same AS (iBGP). |
|

|
|
|
|
|
| Next Hop field | With a routing update, or routing table entry, the portion of a |
|
|
|
| route that defines the next router to which a packet should be |
| |
|
| sent to reach the destination subnet. With routing protocols, the |
| |
|
| Next Hop field may define a router other than the router |
|
|
|
| sending the routing update. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| A BGP configuration setting that tells the local router to change |
| |
|
| the NEXT_HOP path attribute to refer to its own BGP Update |
|
|
|
| Source when advertising routes to BGP neighbors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| path control | A general term, that refers to any function that impacts how |
|
|
|
| routers forward packets. These functions include routing |
|
|
|
| protocols and any other feature that impacts the IP routing |
|
|
|
| table, plus any feature that impacts the packet forwarding |
|
|
|
| process. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| private AS | BGP ASN whose value is between 64,512 and 65,535. These |
|
|
|
| values are not assigned for use on the Internet and can be used |
| |
|
| for private purposes, typically either within confederations or by |
| |
|
| ISPs to hide the ASN used by some customers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| A private ASN | An Autonomous System Number (ASN) that falls inside the |
|
|
|
| Private AS range. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| public ASN | An ASN that fits below the private ASN range, specifically from 1 |
| |
|
| through 54,511 with a |
| |
|
| 1 through 4,294,967,295. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| redistribution | The process on a router of taking the routes from the IP routing |
| |
|
| table, as learned by one routing protocol, and injecting routes |
| |
|
| for those same subnets into another routing protocol. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| regular expression | A list of interspersed alphanumeric literals and metacharacters |
| |
|
| used to apply complex matching logic to alphanumeric strings. |
| |
|
| Often used for matching AS_Paths. |
