BGP Commands

Introduction

This chapter describes the Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP-4) commands used with the BSR.

BGP is an Inter-Autonomous System (AS) routing protocol that exchanges network availability information with any other router speaking BGP. The information for a network is the complete list of ASs that traffic must transport to reach that network and is then used to assure loop-free paths. This information is used to construct a graph of AS connectivity from which routing loops may be pruned, and some policy decisions at the AS level may be enforced.
