Solaris BGP Implementation
Solaris 10 supports several new
protocols including Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2), Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP-4).
BGP was developed in the mid 1990s to replace EGP.
BGP replaces the distance-vector
algorithm of EGP with a path-vector algorithm. The path vector that is implemented
by BGP causes the route table information to include a complete path (all autonomous
system numbers) from the source to the destination. This eliminates the possibility
of looping problems that might arise from complex network topologies, such as the
Internet. A loop is detected by BGP when the path it receives has an autonomous
system listed twice. If this occurs, BGP generates an error condition.
Notes:
- Those pages are written by people for whom English is not a
native language. Some amount of grammar and spelling errors
should be expected.
- This is a Spartan WHYFF (We Help You For Free) site. It
cannot replace the best teachers and
the
best books.
- The site contain some obsolete pages as it develops like a
living tree... Some links on older pages
are broken. Please
try to use Google, Open directory, etc. to find a replacement link
(see
HOWTO search the WEB for details).
We would appreciate if you can
mail us a correct link.

NIST announces the release of draft SP 800-54,
Border Gateway Protocol
Security. This document introduces the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP),
explains its importance to the Internet, and provides a set of best practices
that can help in protecting BGP. Best practices described here are intended to
be implementable on nearly all currently available BGP routers without requiring
installation of new protocols. To improve the security of BGP routers, a series
of recommendations are made. NIST requests public comments on SP 800-54 by
November 30, 2006. Please submit comments to
sp800-54comments@nist.gov with "Comments SP800-54" in the subject line
