What is Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)?

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet. BGP is used to establish inter-domain routing between different networks, enabling data to be routed across the Internet. It makes routing decisions based on path, network policies, and/or rule-sets configured by a network administrator, and is thus involved in making core routing decisions.
