Border Gateway Protocol (BGP): What is it and how does it work?
When you're drawing a straight line on a sheet of paper, finding the right route from point A to point B is easy, but when Point A is your machine and Point B is a website halfway around the globe, things get a little more complicated.
In the latter case, the global internet's routing protocol, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), is used to determine the best route by weighing the most recent network conditions based on reachability and routing knowledge. BGP controls how data packets are delivered between the vast networks that make up the internet which allows the internet to function as we know it.
