Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work looks at Border Gateway Protocol and shows how it defines how backbone routing (i.e. routing on a line carrying data gathered from smaller lines) is carried out on the Internet or large intranets/extranets. BGP differs from its alternatives in that it is an industrial-strength routing protocol suitable for use in high-bandwidth backbone environments. Soon, all non-local internet traffic will be routed via BGP, and as intranets/extranets become more complet, BGP should become even more in the corporate environment.
