Border Gateway Protocols

Abstract

A Border Gateway Protocol is a path vector routing protocol that coordinates the routing of packets through multiple administrative domains by computing routes between every IP address the packet passes. Certain routers, called BGP speakers, are assigned to run the protocol. BGP speakers across different Autonomous Systems (AS) are interconnected in order to exchange routing information. BGP supports a feature called multihoming, which means connecting to multiple ISPs from different routers or points in the network. However, BGPs still have several serious security vulnerabilities, which are currently being addressed. We discuss Pros and Cons of BGP and possible security enhancements.
