Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)


About Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

A standardized outside gateway protocol called Border Gateway Protocol is created to exchange routing and reachability data across Internet-based autonomous systems.

This makes it possible for autonomous systems on the internet to communicate route information (AS). Networks require a method of communication as they interact with one another. Peering allows for the accomplishment of this.

Why is Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) important?

If one internet road goes down, BGP preserves network stability by ensuring that routers can swiftly react to transmit packets through a different channel. Based on pathways, rules, or network policies set up by a network administrator, BGP decides where to route traffic.

Who should take the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Exam?

  • Anyone interested in using BGP to provide dependable Internet connectivity
  • Candidates for Cisco certificates such as CCNP RS, CCNA/CCNP Service Provider, Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE Routing & Switching Version 5) or CCIE Service Provider V3 including technical engineers and delegates.
  • Any student interested in studying cutting-edge Cisco and associated Internet technologies is advised to take this course.
