What is BGP?
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol used to exchange routing information across the Internet. BGP is an exterior routing protocol and as such is concerned with routing between networks rather than within them (this is the domain of the interior routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, IS-IS). BGP/4 is defined in RFC 1771. Also see RFC’s 1772, 1773, and 1774.
