What is BGP?
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information between autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet. BGP is commonly used by Internet service providers (ISPs) to establish routing between each other and by large organizations to connect to multiple ISPs for redundancy and traffic engineering.
What other technologies are related to BGP?
BGP Competitor Technologies
OSPF
OSPF is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) used for routing within a single autonomous system, while BGP is an Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) used for routing between autonomous systems. They compete for routing within an AS, though BGP can be used internally.
EIGRP
EIGRP is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) used for routing within a single autonomous system. While it's a distance-vector protocol, like RIP, it has advanced features. Like OSPF, it competes with BGP when routing within an AS.
ISIS
IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that can be used within an autonomous system as an alternative to OSPF or EIGRP. Therefore it is a competitor.

RIP
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is another Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). It's simpler than OSPF or EIGRP and competes as a method to route within an AS.

BGP Complementary Technologies
MPLS
MPLS can be used to create VPNs and traffic engineer paths across a network. BGP is often used to distribute VPN information in an MPLS network (e.g., BGP/MPLS VPNs).
QoS
QoS mechanisms can be used to prioritize BGP traffic, ensuring its reliable operation. It helps manage network resources for important protocols like BGP.
VXLAN
VXLAN is a tunneling protocol that can be used to extend Layer 2 networks over a Layer 3 infrastructure. BGP can be used to exchange routing information for VXLAN endpoints, making them complementary.
