About BGP
Border Gateway Protocol, first published as RFC 1105 in 1989, is how autonomous systems exchange routing information, making it the glue of the global internet. Its path vector design lets over 70,000 networks announce address space to each other. Route hijacks and leaks remain its weak spot, spurring resource public key infrastructure validation.
