Description: The BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing table is a database that stores the routes known by a router using this protocol. BGP is the routing protocol used to exchange routing information between autonomous systems on the Internet. The routing table contains information about available routes, including the network prefix, next-hop address, AS-path, and other attributes that help determine the best route for data traffic. This table is fundamental to the operation of BGP, as it allows routers to make informed decisions about how to route traffic efficiently and reliably. As BGP routers receive route updates from other routers, the table is dynamically updated, allowing adaptation to changes in network topology. BGP’s ability to handle large volumes of routes and its flexibility to implement specific routing policies make it an essential component of modern Internet infrastructure.
