A 30-year-old protocol that still has its value: - BGP protocol. It is also called the Two Napkin Protocol (Not an official name). If I look at a bit of the history of this protocol then in 1989 when Kirk Lougheed, Len Bosack, and Yakov Rekhter were sharing a meal at an IETF conference. They famously sketched the outline of their new routing protocol on the back of some napkins, hence often ...
Basic of BGP routing Protocol – A Two Napkin Protocol – Part 1
This series focuses on the BGP routing protocol and will be presented across multiple articles due to the depth and length of the content. Some information may be referenced from other sources and simplified for better understanding.
Basic of BGP routing Protocol – A Two Napkin Protocol – Part 2
The BGP Prefix-Based Outbound Route Filtering feature uses Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) outbound route filter (ORF) send and receive capabilities to minimize the number of BGP updates that are sent between BGP peers.

I think BGP on RTR-1 is seeing a better route in the routing table because of OSPF (Higher Weight) and never adds the OSPF routes to its BGP table. I was expecting eBGP to come in and supersede the OSPF route.
In this document I aim to explain the various options that you as a Network Operator can use to influence your inbound traffic flow via BGP. This topic is critical to understand for the CCNP ROUTE exam and introduces you to some good theory with regards to BGP policy enforcement. Prerequisite knowledge Understanding of basic BGP operations Understanding of BGP neighbour types (iBGP/eBGP ...
