BGP Managemen t

BGP is an interauto nomous system rou ting protocol th at is used to e xc hange routing in formatio n for the
inter net . The cu stome rs co nnec t to the In tern et S ervi ce Provid er s (ISPs ), and the IS Ps use B GP to
exchange customer and ISP routing information. When BGP is used between autonomous systems (AS),
the protocol is referred to as External BGP (EBGP). If a service provider is using BGP to exchange
routes within an AS, then the protocol is referred to as Interior BGP (IBGP).
BGP uses the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as its transport prot ocol. Any two rou ters that have
opened a TCP connection to each other for the purpose of exchanging routing information are known as
peers o r neig hbor.
