The protocol of the internet used since 1994.\cite{wiki:Border_Gateway_Protocol}
Currently based upon \rfc{4271} with updates following in \rfc{6286} \rfc{6608}, \rfc{6793}, \rfc{7606}, \rfc{7607}, \rfc{7705}.

\subsection{Properties}

\begin{itemize}
    \item Uses tcp/179 as \gls{dst} port
    \item Sends keep-alive message every 1 minute
    \item Keep-alive message is 19 byte long
\end{itemize}

Be ware if sessions are terminated immediately upon trying to establish connection. Try debugging following points.

\begin{itemize}
    \item tcp/179 is not open,
    \item random port 1023> is not open,
    \item incorrect peer-ip,
    \item incorrect peer-as.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Route exchange}

Exchanging routes between routers is a reliant and tolerant manner is \glspl{bgp} 1-advantage over \gls{ospf}/\gls{isis}/\gls{rip}/\gls{eigrp}.

The sheer tuning and control mechanisms \gls{bgp} can offer is simply astounding. Route-maps is the key and access-lists just one option.

\subsubsection[Route-maps]{Route-maps mechanism}

Route-maps is used to target a select set of routes and either modify/add/remove attributes attached to the select route-set.

\begin{itemize}
    \item Routes can be aggregated between \glspl{as}.
    \item Properties can be changed on the fly by matching
    \begin{enumerate}[label={\alph*)}]
        \item \Gls{bgp} communities,
        \item \Gls{ip} prefix,
        \item \Gls{bgp} as-path, 
    \end{enumerate}
\end{itemize}

An simple example of using route-maps is

\begin{cisco}
ip prefix-list 1 permit 172.16.0.0/16 
ip prefix-list 2 permit 192.168.1.0/24 
!
route-map RED permit 10 
 match ip address prefix-list 1 
 set ip next hop 10.1.1.1
 continue 20              ! Continues to apply rules normally only
                          ! applied to prefix-list 2. To apply to
                          ! prefix-list 1, too.
                          ! Any attributes set in '20' will
                          ! override any set during '10'.
route-map RED permit 20 
 match ip address prefix-list 2 
 set ip next hop 10.2.2.2 ! Last rule overrides previous rules from
                          ! previous '10' rule-set.
\end{cisco}

When rules from a rule-set is chained together as shown above. The last rule will override all previous set values regarding the attribute being applied. In this case \texttt{next-hop} from 'permit 10' is overridden in 'permit 20'.

\subsection[States]{BGP States}

The states is the way \gls{bgp} handles peer/neighbor connection establishing. The \underline{playbook} so to speak.

\begin{enumerate}
    \item Idle: \gls{bgp} while initializing refuses all incoming connections. Will initiate \gls{tcp} connection to peer.
    \item Connect: Waits for \gls{tcp} connection. If \gls{tcp} is established goes to state OpenSent. If \gls{tcp} is \textit{un}successful ConnectRetry timer is started and then goes to Active state.
    \item Active: When ConnectRetry counter reaches 0 goes to state Connect.
    \item OpenSent: Sends \gls{msg} to remote node. Waits for reply \gls{msg} before going to OpenConfirm.
    \item OpenConfirm: Nodes exchange keepalive \glspl{msg} and goes to Established state if successful.
    \item Established: Nodes can now exchange KeepAlive, Updates, and Notification \glspl{msg}.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection[iBGP]{Internal Border Gateway Protocol}

\gls{ibgp} is running \gls{bgp} within the same \gls{as} between routers. Much like running a general \gls{igrp} in the network.

Tradition one has to be fearful of creating \textit{routing loops} in the network. \glspl{bgp} mechanism for this is using either \begin{mylist} \item Full Mesh, or \item \glspl{rr} \end{mylist}.

Problems by running \textit{Full Mesh} is the formula of \[ iBGPsessions = n*(n-1)/2 \] \note{where $ n $ is the number \gls{ibgp} speakers} which results in scaling problems as \gls{ibgp} speakers are added to the \gls{as}.

\textit{\glspl{rr}} solves this problem by peering with all \gls{ibgp} speakers in the \gls{as}. All \gls{ibgp} speakers are then clients of the \glspl{rr}. This in turn helps maintainability by also advertising routes learnt from \gls{ibgp} clients to clients. Classic filtering/mathing route-maps/prefix-filters can be used to \textit{not} advertise all routes select group of clients from the \glspl{rr}.

\subsection[eBGP]{External Border Gateway Protocol}

\gls{ebgp} connections is inherently different from \gls{ibgp} connections. Some assumptions are made such as
\begin{enumerate}
    \item a \gls{ttl} of 1 is the default\footnote{Multi-hop \gls{ebgp} can thou be configured and therefore increase the max-\gls{ttl} value},
    \item distance is set to 20 compared to 200 for \gls{ibgp} routes,
    \item Next hop does \textit{not} change for \gls{ebgp} routes advertised to \gls{ibgp} neighbours \textit{by-default}\footnote{Often times it is necessary to tell a router to set itself as the next-hop before advertising to \gls{ibgp} neighbours}.
\end{enumerate}
