Routing involves 2 activities
-
optimal path determination ( complex issue)
-
transport of packets through network (relatively straightforward)

| 2 |
BGP performs inter-domain routing in TCP/IP networks
|
| 3 |
BGP is an exterior gateway protocol (performs routing between multiple autonomous systems or domains and exchanges routing information with other BGP systems)
|
| 4 |
BGP was developed to replace its predecessor: EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol - a particular instance if an exterior gateway protocol)
