BGP4 overview
BGP4 is the standard Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) used on the Internet to route traffic between Autonomous Systems (AS) and to
maintain loop-free routing. An AS is a collection of networks that share the same routing and administration characteristics. For example,
a corporate Intranet consisting of several networks under common administrative control might be considered an AS. The networks in an
AS can but do not need to run the same routing protocol to be in the same AS, nor do they need to be geographically close.
Devices within an AS can use different Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) such as RIP and OSPF to communicate with one another.
However, for devices in different autonomous systems to communicate, they need to use an EGP. BGP4 is the standard EGP used by
Internet devices and therefore is the EGP implemented on Brocade devices.
This is a simple example of two BGP4 ASs. Each AS contains three BGP4 devices. All of the BGP4 devices within an AS communicate
using IBGP. BGP4 devices communicate with other autonomous systems using EBGP. Notice that each of the devices also is running
an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). The devices in AS1 are running OSPF and the devices in AS2 are running RIP. The device can be
configured to redistribute routes among BGP4, RIP, and OSPF. They also can redistribute static routes.
