BGP attributes are used to determine the best path for routing. Path selection process involves comparing attributes like AS path, local preference, etc.

• BGP attributes include AS path, local preference, MED, origin, etc.

• Path selection process involves comparing attributes in a predetermined order to determine the best path.

• AS path attribute is used to prevent routing loops and determine the shortest path to a destinati...read more

SIA (Stuck In Active) is a mechanism in EIGRP to prevent routing loops by marking a route as 'stuck' if a feasible successor is not found.

• SIA occurs when a router is unable to find a feasible successor for a route during a topology change.

• During SIA, the router marks the route as 'stuck' and queries its neighbors for a new path.

• This prevents routing loops by temporarily blocking the affected route until a new feasible
