The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol of the Internet. For any operator wishing to enter into a peering relationship with another operator, BGP will almost always be required. | The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol of the Internet.

Newcomers to BGP are recommended to consult the many resources available (in the next section) going through BGP in some depth, including covering some of the scenarios discussed in the Toolbox. This is recommended before embarking on the peering journey, and practising some of the scenarios in online labs or using virtual platforms such as [[https:// | Newcomers to BGP are recommended to consult the many resources available (in the next section) going through BGP in some depth, including covering some of the scenarios discussed in the Toolbox.
