Question

Accepted Answer

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a routing protocol used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems on the internet.

BGP is used to make routing decisions based on network policies, rules, and attributes.
BGP attributes include AS_PATH, NEXT_HOP, LOCAL_PREF, MED, and WEIGHT.
AS_PATH is a list of autonomous systems that the route has traversed.
NEXT_HOP is the IP address of the next router to reach the destination.
LOCAL_PREF is used to influence outbound traffic from a BGP router.
MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator) is used to influence inbound traffic from neighboring ASes.
WEIGHT is a Cisco-specific attribute used to influence the best path selection.
