    This document provides a summary of key attributes and types of BGP including: - BGP is a path-vector exterior gateway protocol that uses a composite metric and has 4 packet types. - It supports authentication and has an administrative distance of 20 for eBGP and 200 for iBGP. - eBGP is used for peering between routers in different autonomous systems while iBGP is used within an AS. - iBGP requires a full mesh topology or remedies like route reflectors while eBGP does not.

    BGP – Cheatsheet – Part-1 Version 2

    Key Attributes
    Protocol Type/Class: Path-Vector
    Algorithm: Comp. Metric
    Type: EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol)
    Metric: Composite Metric based on multiple factors
    No. of packet types: 4 (Open, Update, Keepalive, Notification)
    Admin Distance: 20 (eBGP), 200 (iBGP)
    No. of Neighbor States: 6
    Transport: TCP (Port179)
    Standard: IETF RFC4271 (BGPv4 - 2006)
    Authentication Support: YES (MD5)

    BGP Types
    eBGP iBGP
    Admin Distance = 20 Admin Distance = 200
    Peering between Routers in different AS Peering between Routers in same AS
    TTL = 1 TTL = 255
    (means, only directly connected Peers can talk to each other) (means, Peers which are hops away from each other can still talk to each other)

    Does NOT require Full Mesh Topology Full Mesh Topology Required (or any remedy for it e.g. Router Reflectors, Confederations, …)
    Next-hop is changed to Local Router in advertisements to peers Next-hop is NOT changed to Local Router in advertisements to peers
    Loop Prevention Mechanisms: AS-PATH Loop Prevention Mechanisms: Split Horizon
    AS is prepended/added in the AS-PATH attribute in advertisements AS is NOT prepended/added in the AS-PATH attribute in advertisement
    Does not send the LOCAL-PREF attributes in advertisements Sends the LOCAL-PREF attributes in advertisements www.networkwalks.com
