The document presents an overview of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), detailing its significance in routing within large organizations and inter-domain connections. It covers the protocol's architecture, message types, path selection process, and configuration, alongside comparisons with other routing protocols like RIP and OSPF. The document also outlines the conditions under which BGP should and should not be used, emphasizing its role in managing multiple internet connections and routing policies.

3. Routing is the process that a router uses to forward packets
toward the destination network.
processes for sharing route information allows
routers to communicate with other routers to update and
maintain the routing tables
Examples of routing protocols that support the IP routed
protocol are:
RIP, IGRP,OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP.
Most routing algorithms can be classified into one of two
categories:
• distance vector
• link-state 3

5. BGP stand for Border Gateway Protocol.very to big organization
can use BGP.
Having two or more internet connection.
CLID routing protocol.
Create loop free inter domain routing between Autonomous
Systems (AS). {1-65512: Private; 65513 – 65535: Public}
An AS is a set of routers under a single technical administration.
Two BGP flavors: IBGP & EBGP
 - IBGP work in same AS
 - EBGP work in different AS.
BGP used TCP port 179 and maintains neighbor or peer
relationships
It’s an application layer protocol
BGP describes the path by using Attributes
5

6. • BGP finds the best path to a network by using the best AS-path
• Exchange of loop-free routing information is guaranteed.
• Updates sent once every 5 sec for IBGP peer & once every 30 sec for
EBGP.
• TCP used for reliability.
• Protocol Type: Path vector.
• EBGP: AD 20
• IBGP: AD 200
• Open standard Protocol
• Supported protocols: IPv4, IPv6
• BGP sends full routing updates at the start of the session.
• Incremental & triggered updates
• Timers: Hello (60 sec)
• Authentication: None, MD5

7. Use BGP
 when the effects of BGP are well understood and one of the following
conditions exist:
The AS allows packets to transit through it to reach another AS (transit
AS).
The AS has multiple connections to other AS’s.
The flow of traffic entering or exiting the AS must be manipulated. This
is policy based routing and based on attributes.
Do not use BGP
A single connection to the Internet or another AS
No concern for routing policy or routing selection
A lack of memory or processing power on your routers to handle constant
BGP updates
A limited understanding of route filtering and BGP path selection process
Low bandwidth between AS’s

11. Before establishing a BGP peer connection the two neighbors must
perform the standard TCP three-way handshake and open a TCP
connection to port 179.
After the TCP session is established, BGP peers exchanges several
messages to open and confirm connection parameters and to send BGP
routing information.
All BGP messages are unicast to the one neighbor over the TCP
connection.
There are four BGP message types:
11

12. Connect State:
Waits for successful TCP negotiation with peer.
BGP does not spend much time in this state if the TCP session has been
successfully established.
Sends Open message to peer and changes state to Open Sent.
Open Sent State:
BGP listens for an Open message from its peer.
Once the message has been received, the router checks the validity of the Open
message.
If there is no error, a Keepalive message is sent, various timers are set and the
state is changed to Open Confirm.
12

13. 13
Open Confirm State:
The peer is listening for a Keepalive message from its peer.
Established State:
The peers send Update messages to exchange information about each route
being advertised to the BGP peer.
If there is any error in the Update message then a Notification message is sent
to the peer, and BGP transitions back to the idle state.
Active State:
If the router was unable to establish a successful TCP session, then it ends up in
the Active state.

14. Consider only routes with no AS loops and a valid next hop,
and then:
1. Highest weight (local to router).
2. Highest local preference (global within AS).
4. Shortest AS path.
5. Lowest origin code (IGP < EGP < incomplete).
7. EBGP path over IBGP path.
8. The path through the closest IGP neighbor.
9. Oldest route for EBGP paths.
10. The path with the lowest neighbor BGP router ID.
11. The path with the lowest neighbor IP address.
14

15. Well-known attributes
- Must be recognized by all compliant BGP implementations. Are
propagated to other neighbors
• Well-known mandatory attributes
- Must be present in all update messages
• Well-known discretionary attributes
- May be present in update messages
15

16. • AS path: Well-known mandatory. A list of autonomous
systems that a route has traversed:
• Next-hop: Well-known mandatory. The IP address of the
next AS to reach a given network
• Origin: Well-known mandatory. The origin attribute
informs all AS in the internetwork how the prefixes were
introduced into BGP.
16

17. Syntax:-
Example:-
Router(config)# router ospf 1
Router(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
area 0

18. BGP is a path vector routing protocol.
Defined in RFC 1772
BGP is a distance vector routing protocol,
in that it relies on downstream neighbors to
pass along routes from their routing table.
BGP uses a list of AS numbers through
which a packet must pass to reach a
destination.

19. · BGP converges slowly.
· Not used in single connection to the Internet.

20. The protocol designed by Standard protocol system. It’s work
on top of layer 3.it’s a best routing protocol for link state
routing protocol . that is used on a big network ISP for reliable
network establishment.
