Border G(tew(y Protocol (BGP) is ' st'nd'rdized exterior g'tew'y

protocol designed to exch'nge routing 'nd re'ch'bility inform'tion

'mong 'utonomous systems (AS) on the Internet.[¹] The protocol is
often cl'ssified 's ' p'th vector protocol but is sometimes 'lso cl'ssed
's ' dist'nce-vector routing protocol[!ⁱ#ª#ⁱºⁿ ⁿ(()()]. The Border G'tew'y
Protocol m'kes routing decisions b'sed on p'ths, network policies, or
rule-sets configured by ' network 'dministr'tor 'nd is involved in
m'king core routing decisions.
BGP m'y be used for routing within 'n 'utonomous system. In this
'pplic'tion it is referred to 's Interior Border G'tew'y Protocol, Intern'l
BGP, or iBGP. In contr'st, the Internet 'pplic'tion of the protocol m'y
be referred to 's Exterior Border G'tew'y Protocol, Extern'l BGP, or
eBGP.
