To fully understand BGP, we must first answer the following seemingly simple questions: why BGP is needed, that is, how BGP is generated, and what problems does it solve. With the above questions, let us briefly review the development trajectory of a routing protocol. First of all, the essence of routing is to describe the expression of a network structure. The routing table is actually a collection of results. In the early ARPANet network era, the network scale was limited and the number of routes was not large. Therefore, all routers can maintain the entire network topology. The routing protocol used at that time was called GGP (Gateway-to-Gateway Protocol). GGP naturally became the first internal gateway protocol (IGP). At that time, network managers encountered a similar problem to today: the number of routes caused by the expansion of the network scale continues to increase. In order to solve this problem of network size growth, an autonomous system concept (AS) is proposed, which can also be called a routing management domain. Use one routing protocol inside the AS, and then use another routing protocol between the AS. The benefits of this are obvious. Different networks can choose the IGP protocol and then interconnect through a unified inter-AS protocol. In the development field of IGP, first RIP became the mainstream of IP routing, and then more advanced IGP protocols including OSP and ISIS appeared. These protocols are more automated, smarter and more reliable. There is a mutual trust relationship between routers in the same AS, and these routers are often maintained by the same management personnel. Therefore, IGP's automatic discovery and routing calculation information flooding are completely open, and there is relatively little manual intervention. The need for interconnection of different ASs has promoted the generation of external gateway protocol (EGP). The main purpose of EGP is to transfer routing protocols between different ASs. And different ASs are often directly connected, most AS interconnection behavior only involves a small number of border routers (ASBR), so the design of EGP is also very simple. EGP's RFC827 was released in 1982, and it seems to be earlier than RIP's first standard FRC1058, but in fact RIP has been widely used before RFC1058. At the time, RIP + EGP became a standard routing combination. EGP was designed so simple that it quickly failed to meet the requirements of network management. EGP simply publishes network reachability information without making any optimization or considering loop avoidance. Some people even think that EGP is not a routing protocol. Many of EGP's shortcomings are eventually replaced by BGP. BGP's first FRC1105 was released in 1989. Compared with EGP, BGP is more like a routing protocol, with many routing protocol features, such as solving loop problems, convergence problems, triggering updates, and so on. It's like different companies have their own corporate culture and standards, but the interaction between companies must follow a unified code of conduct and standards. There must also be a unified standard for routing interaction between ASs. The many advantages of BGP over EGP make BGP the only external gateway protocol and widely used on the Internet. In summary, BGP is an external gateway protocol that appears to replace EGP. It must be able to perform route selection, avoid routing loops, be able to deliver routes more efficiently, and maintain a large number of routes. Because BGP is deployed between ASs that do not have a complete trust relationship, BGP needs to have rich routing control capabilities, and BGP can be extended through some simple and uniform methods. BGP development BGPv1 (RFC1105) defines some of the most basic protocol features of BGP. BGP passes routes between ASs, so it is very important. In order to ensure the reliable transmission of BGP, TCP is used as the transport layer protocol. The advantages of using TCP are obvious. BGP can use TCP's existing reliable transmission mechanism, retransmission, sequencing and other mechanisms to ensure the reliability of protocol message interaction. The benefits of TCP extension can also be inherited, for example, MD5 authentication of TCP can be used by BGP. BGP is established between two different AS and there is a trust problem. Therefore, BGP cannot be discovered automatically. Instead, it needs to manually configure neighbors and establish TCP relationships using specified addresses. The BGP relationship established with AS external nodes is called EBGP relationship, and the BGP relationship established with AS internal nodes is IBGP relationship. One of the most important concepts of BGP is to use the AS number to solve the loop problem between AS. If a certain routing information is received with its own AS number, it means that this route is a known route and it will not be processed anymore. If the AS number is duplicated, it means that there is a routing loop. There is no concept of AS-path in BGPv1, and this concept is made clear in BGPv2. BGP is constantly improving from v1, v2, v3, and now v4. BGP4 + is mainly an extension of multi-protocol BGP, also known as MP-BGP. The concept of MP-BGP will not be discussed in this article. Within the AS, because there is no change in the AS number, other methods are needed to prevent loops. BGP stipulates that the routes learned from IBGP neighbors will not be passed to another IBGP neighbor. Simply put, the route between IBGPs will only be transmitted by one hop, and the route will only be transmitted once. Of course, there is no problem of looping. At the same time, all routers within the AS are required to establish IBGP relationships in pairs. This is the BGP full connection in BGP technology. Full connectivity is unthinkable in a large network, so two technologies (RFC1966 and RFC1965) were later derived from route reflector and BGP alliance. The route reflector designates a node as a reflector in the AS, all other nodes establish an IBGP relationship with the reflector, and the reflector acts as an intermediate node to pass routes between any other two IBGPs. Therefore, in theory, the reflector should not change the path attribute information when routing, otherwise it will destroy the principle of BGP avoiding loops inside the AS. However, from the perspective of practical application, different vendors have made many features on the function of the reflector, which requires careful use by BGP deployers. The BGP alliance is re-planned within the AS, and a flat AS is divided into multiple private ASs. The benefits of doing this can be a layered management of a large AS on the one hand, and on the other hand through the layer , Naturally reducing the need for full connectivity. BGP messages use the TLV structure, which is very conducive to expansion and backward compatibility. Therefore, with the development of the network, a large number of RFCs on BGP extensions have been generated, which makes BGP an external gateway protocol that keeps youth forever.

One of the biggest categories for IT certifications, as well as thus IT careers, would have to be networking. Without applying more unambiguous criteria, a networking certification could be covering the local wired and wireless IP network design, routing, connectivity, as well as administration, but also mobile communications technologies such as LTE and Mobile WiMAX. Additionally, data center networking would be falling under this umbrella, and WAN (wide area network) connectivity as well as the quality of service, as do traditional long-haul technologies like carrier optical fiber, Ethernet, and so on. This survey whittled the list down primarily to the most popular local wired as well as wireless networking certifications. A handful of certifications in this article overlying general networking with MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) as well as mobility, but they would be exceptions to the rule. The list would also be included a combination of vendor-specific and vendor-neutral credential sponsors, although vendors would be more heavily represented. You would be seeing certifications from well-known technology vendors such as Cisco, Aruba Networks, HP, Juniper Networks and Extreme Networks, as well as vendor-neutral certifications by CompTIA, BICSI, as well as the IPv6 Forum. Hence, if you wish to make a career in the Networking skills with the CCNP Course, you are required to gain the study dumps, which are being offered at the SPOTO Club. Advancing your career in networking If you would be just beginning a career in networking, we would be recommending that you are required to pursue one or more vendor-neutral, entry-level credentials like any of the CWNP certifications, the CompTIA Network+, as well as the IPv6 Forum Silver Certified Engineer. These credentials would be revealing you to many different but highly precious networking technologies as well as products and would be helpful in finding a networking job. The only free of charge certification on the list is considered to be the Hurricane Electric IPv6, which again would be representing numerous credentials at multiple levels. The program is also considered to be quite well developed and continually expands, and it would be looking forward to being more than worth the time you would be spending studying for any of the exams. After accomplishing one or more vendor-neutral credentials that would be considered vendor-specific certifications that would be relevant to your line of work. For instance, if you would be working for a consulting firm that would be supporting HP and Cisco technologies, pursuing applicable intermediate- or professional-level certifications. Training costs for vendor-specific certifications would be normally higher than vendor-neutral, so guarantee for finding out if your employer would be covering part or all of the cost of the certification exam and training fees. Networking job types For those just beginning a career in networking, here would be a shortlist of the available types of positions and networking jobs: • Network Administrator • Network Analyst • Network Engineer • Network Manager • Network Solutions Architect • Network Specialist • Network Technician As you would be developing your networking career further, you would be able to decide the specialization in one or more areas of networking. At this point, the networking jobs you are required to apply for might include: • Cloud Networking Architect • Data Center Networking Specialist • Mobility Solutions Architect • Network Security Specialist • Networking Research and Development Specialist • Telecom Project Manager • VoIP Engineer • Wireless Infrastructure and Mobility Specialist • Wireless Networking QA Engineer There would be also plenty of networking jobs in consulting and sales, so ensure to check out: • Networking Account Manager • Networking Consultant • Networking Program Manager • Networking Sales Specialist Now that you know that the CCNP Certification for advancing your networking skills, you should check out the training courses which are offered at the SPOTO Club to ensure success in CCNP Certification in the first attempt.
