Chapter 6. Basic Border Gateway Protocol

This chapter covers the basics of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Chapter 7, “Advanced BGP,” covers more advanced BGP topics and scenarios. This chapter contains five practical scenarios to complete your understanding of basic BGP and to help you appreciate the complexity of BGP.
