(BGP)
Sharad Jaiswal
Prologue
Internet is divided into Autonomous
Systems (ASs)
AS - a collection of one or more
networks under a single technical
administration
technical administration- refers to
aspects of the n/w like, routing policies
etc.
Contd.
Route selection
highest degree of preference of any route
to to the same set of destinations
is only route to the destination
use tie breaking techniques
Install route in Loc-RIB
Phase 3
Route Dissemination to peers in
neighboring ASs
when routes in a Loc-RIB to local
destinations have changed
All routes processed in Adj-RIBs-OUT
Aggregation of routes may occur here
Overlapping Routes
BGP speaker may transmit routes with
overlapping NLRI Information
Overlap occurs when a set of
destinations are identified in non-
matching routes
Destinations are always identified by IP
prefixes
More specific prefix route gets
precedence.
Internal BGP (iBGP)
Same protocol as BGP;
Used when AS_PATH is supposed to be
intact between different eBGP peers;
iBGP nodes are fully meshed;
No re-advertisement of route updates to
prevent looping;
iBGP Scaling
BGP Confederations
Divide AS into Sub-ASs to reduce size of mesh
Still present a unified front to the outside world
Route Reflectors
Relax no re-advertisement rule
Single iBGP peer reflects routes to sub-ordinate
peers within a cluster
No peering between clusters
Other Issues!
Achieving Stability
Using loopbacks
BGP/IGP interaction
Peer Groups
Route Flap dampening
BGP and CIDR
