Basic notes on BGP (border gateway protocol)

by Shabeer ibm

BGP
RIP, OSPF and EIGRP are all different but they have one thing in commonthey want
to find
the shortest path to the destination. But when coming to Internet being able to
manipulate traffic paths is far more important than finding the shortest path. There
is only one routing protocol we currently use on the Internet which is BGP.
Within an autonomous system we use an IGP like OSPF or EIGRP. For routing
between the different autonomous systems we use an EGP (external gateway
protocol). The only EGP we use nowadays is BGP. We can say internet as a bunch of
autonomous system that are connected to each other.We need to register AS number
for BGP just like public IP address.Autonomous system numbers are 16-bit which
means we have AS from 1 up to 65535. Theres also a private range (64512 65535)
which we can use for non-internet usage
There are two types of BGP
External BGP: Used for routing between autonomous systems
Internal BGP: Used for routing within the autonomous system.

Points to Remember
BGP is the routing protocol we use to route between autonomous systems:
BGP guarantees loop-free routing information.

BGP is completely different than IGPs.

BGP avoids loops by using path vector routing protocol [BGP saves path when
they enter inside a AS]
BGP doesn't use metrics but a rich set of BGP attributes.
BGP uses TCP port 179
Administrative distance of EBGP is 20
Administrative distance of IBGP is 200
Authentication used in BGP is MD5
Currently using BGP v4
BGP saves paths to all destination in a table called forwarding table.Best path
from forwarding table is saved in routing table
Routers running BGP is termed as BGP speakers
BGP neighbors are called Peers.Peers must be configured statically
BGP was built for reliability and Control but not for speed.
Once BGP peers form a neighbor relationship, they share their full routing table.
Afterwards, only changes to the routing table are forwarded to peers.

Cisco recommendation on BGP

Use BGP
-when AS is multi-homed
-when AS is a transit AS
Do not use BGP
-In a single homed AS
-with a router that does not have sufficent resourses to handle it
-With a staff who does not have a good understanding of BGP path selection and
manipulation

Neighbor States
Idle : Neighbor is not responding
Active : Attempting to connect
Connect : TCP session established

Open Sent : Open message sent

Open Confirm : Response received
Established : Adjacency established

Packet Types:
Open : After a neighbour is confirmed manually,BGP sends a open message to
establish peering with that neighbour
Update : Used to transfer routing information between peers
Keep Alive : BGP peers exchange keep-alive messages in every 60 seconds by
default.It keeps the peering session alive
Notification : Notification is a warning message send before closing connection
with a BGP Peer.
