The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an inter-autonomous system routing protocol. An autonomous system is a group of networks under common administrative control and routing policies.
This sequence diagram describes the sequence of messages exchanged when a new BGP router is made operational. The steps involved are:
- Establish TCP connections
- Exchange BGP Open messages.
- Start periodic exchange of Keepalive messages.
- Exchange routing information with the BGP Update message.
