The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a fundamental part of sending data over the internet. Without BGP, there would be no way to scale the internet or even make it work at all. Without BGP, there would be no way to scale the internet or even make it work at all. So, there are a lot of good reasons to monitor BGP.

Due to security and compliance concerns, some vendors handling such sensitive data cannot expose services to the public Internet and therefore host their own on-premise data centers. Under the hood, the Site-to-Site VPN creates two security IPsec tunnels, where data can be encrypted and transmitted over the public Internet.

Designed before the dawn of the commercial Internet, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a policy-based routing protocol that has long been an established part of the Internet infrastructure. Why is an understanding of BGP helpful in understanding Internet connectivity and interconnectivity?

In simple terms, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the protocol that routes traffic on the Internet. Each BGP speaking organization is assigned an Autonomous System Number (ASN) that identifies them on the Internet. During a BGP route hijack, an attacker advertises IP prefixes from an ASN that is not the normal originator.

Border Gateway Protocol (more commonly known as BGP ) is the routing protocol that makes the internet work. Time and time again, this resulted in a “BGP prefix hijack,” where, in many cases, part of the internet was unreachable. In this case it was due to more specific prefixes that should not have been advertised.
