Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the cornerstone of internet routing, enabling Autonomous Systems (AS) to exchange routing information and manage data flow. This protocol uses a path vector mechanism to select the best routes, considering network policies and path attributes. BGP's resilience and adaptability are crucial for maintaining the internet's infrastructure, with features like scalability, route aggregation, and loop prevention. It's vital for services like email and web browsing, and for ISPs to distribute routing information efficiently.
