Key Attributes: BGP Origin Codes

This document provides a summary of key attributes and types of BGP including: - BGP is a path-vector exterior gateway protocol that uses a composite metric and has 4 packet types. - It supports authentication and has an administrative distance of 20 for eBGP and 200 for iBGP. - eBGP is used for peering between routers in different autonomous systems while iBGP is used within an AS. - iBGP requires a full mesh topology or remedies like route reflectors while eBGP does not.

BGP Types
eBGP iBGP
Admin Distance = 20 Admin Distance = 200
Peering between Routers in different AS Peering between Routers in same AS
TTL = 1 TTL = 255
(means, only directly connected Peers can talk to each other) (means, Peers which are hops away from each other can still talk to each other)

Does NOT require Full Mesh Topology Full Mesh Topology Required (or any remedy for it e.g. Router Reflectors, Confederations, …)
Next-hop is changed to Local Router in advertisements to peers Next-hop is NOT changed to Local Router in advertisements to peers
Loop Prevention Mechanisms: AS-PATH Loop Prevention Mechanisms: Split Horizon
AS is prepended/added in the AS-PATH attribute in advertisements AS is NOT prepended/added in the AS-PATH attribute in advertisement
Does not send the LOCAL-PREF attributes in advertisements Sends the LOCAL-PREF attributes in advertisements www.networkwalks.com
