BGP - Border Gateway Protocol

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol used to exchange routing and reachability information between different autonomous systems (ASes) on the Internet. It is a path vector protocol that enables routers within and between ASes to make informed decisions about the most efficient paths for data traffic.

The Security+ exam may include questions related to networking protocols and their security implications. While BGP is primarily a routing protocol, understanding its role, operation, and security considerations is valuable for professionals working in network security roles.
