  BGP has a amount of complex attributes utilized to figure out a path to a remote community. These characteristics permit higher overall flexibility and allow a sophisticated routing decision to guarantee that the path to a distant network is the very best possible path.
  
  The network designer can also manipulate these characteristics. BGP, when supplied with numerous paths to a distant community, constantly chooses a single path to a certain vacation spot. (Load balancing is achievable with static routes.) BGP always propagates the best route to any friends.
  
  BGP attributes are carried in update packets.
  
  Table 6-1 describes the properly-acknowledged and optional characteristics utilized in BGP4.
  Table 6-1. Nicely-Recognized and Optional BGP AttributesAttribute Description
  Origin This attribute is mandatory and defines the origin of the route and can have three different values:
  IGP signifies the remote path originated from within the AS. Generally, when the network command or redistribution is configured, BGP installs the community with an source set to IGP.
  EBG means realized via an External Gateway Protocol.
  Incomplete indicates the BGP course was found utilizing redistribution or static routers.
  AS_Path This attribute describes the sequence of autonomous systems that the packet has traversed.
  Up coming Hop This attribute describes the following hop address taken to a distant route, generally the BGP peer.
  Local Choice This attribute signifies to the AS the favored path to exit the AS. A higher neighborhood choice is constantly desired.
  MED Multiexit Discriminator informs BGP friends in other autonomous programs which route to take to a remote network. A reduced MED is constantly preferred.
  Fat This Cisco-only attribute is used in neighborhood router selection. Fat is not sent to other BGP friends, and a higher excess weight value is often desired. The fat price is among 0-294967295.
  Atomic This attribute advises BGP routers that aggregation has taken location and is not used in the router-choice approach.
  Aggregator This is the router ID accountable for aggregation and is not used in the router-variety method.
  Local community Communities permit routes to be tagged for use with a team of routers sharing the identical characteristics.
  Originator ID This attribute is utilised to avoid routing loops. This data is not utilised for router variety.
  Cluster-Listing This attribute is utilised in course-reflector environments. This data is not employed for router choice.
  
  
  Internal BGP (IBGP) and Exterior BGP (EBGP) are the two types of BGP sessions. IBGP is a relationship in between two BGP speakers in the identical AS. EBGP is a connection in between two BGP speakers in diverse autonomous techniques.
  
  Figure six-one shows a basic three-router BGP topology and the distinct BGP connection kinds: IBGP and EBGP.
  
  
  Figure 6-1 and
  
  IBGP peers also make specific that routing loops cannot occur by making certain that any routes sent to yet another AS are recognized through an interior routing protocol, this sort of as Open Shortest Path Initial (OSPF), before sending the course details. In other terms, the routers have to be synchronized. The bonus of this further rule in IBGP TCP periods is that data is not sent unless of course the distant route is reachable, which lowers any unneeded targeted traffic, and, for that reason, saves bandwidth.
