Title : A Border Gateway Protocol 3 (BGP-3)
Author(s): Kirk Lougheed/cisco, Yakov Rekhter/IBM
Filename : draft-ietf-bgp-bgp3-00.txt
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an inter-Autonomous System
routing protocol. It is built on experience gained with EGP as
defined in RFC 904 and EGP usage in the NSFNET Backbone as
described in RFC 1092 and RFC 1093.
The primary function of a BGP speaking system is to exchange network
reachability information with other BGP systems. This network
reachability information includes information on the full path of
Autonomous Systems (ASs) that traffic must transit to reach these
networks. This information is sufficient to construct a graph of AS
connectivity from which routing loops may be pruned and some policy
decisions at the AS level may be enforced.
