BGP
(Border Gateway Protocol)
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems (AS) on the internet. BGP is essential for directing data packets across the most efficient paths.
As the backbone of the internet, BGP ensures global connectivity and scalability. However, BGP is also vulnerable to issues like route hijacking and misconfigurations, which can lead to widespread outages. Implementing secure BGP practices, such as Route Origin Authorization (ROA), can help mitigate these risks and maintain network stability.
