BGP
This page allows you to manage BGP routes.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a path vector protocol that contains path information, enabling the routers to share routing information between autonomous systems (AS) so that loop-free routes can be created. This protocol is generally used by ISPs.
An AS is a connected group of networks or routers under the control of single administrative entity and share common routing policies. A unique AS number is assigned to each AS to uniquely identify them. AS number enables information exchange between neighboring autonomous systems. You should use private AS numbers if you do not require a unique AS number. BGP private AS-numbers range from 64512 to 65535.
BGP selects a single path from the multiple advertisements received from multiple sources for the same route. When the path is selected, BGP puts it in the IP routing table and passes the path to its neighbor.

Neighbors
Neighbors are the routers between which a TCP connection is established. In this section, you can add, update, or delete neighbors.
Networks
This section list all available BGP networks together with their corresponding netmasks. You can add, update, or delete networks.
