Border Gateway Protocol

BGP is an external gateway protocol that transmits interdomain routing information within and between
autonomous systems (AS). BGP version 4 (BGPv4) supports classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) and the
aggregation of routes and AS paths. Basically, two routers (called neighbors or peers) exchange
information including full routing tables and periodically sent messages to update those routing tables.
BGP is supported in
