Border Gateway Protocol

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is like the internet’s traffic controller for data. It helps different networks, called autonomous systems, decide the best path for sending information, such as emails or websites, across the global network. BGP exchanges routing information between these networks, enabling them to connect and communicate effectively. Think of it as a GPS for data, choosing the most efficient routes to reach their destination. It ensures that data packets travel securely and reliably, helping the internet work smoothly and reach the right place efficiently.
