This helps the network function more efficiently because only viable routes are advertised. Internal BGP refers to a mechanism that gives information about the internal routers in a system.
This is done using a mesh topology, which involves routes being received from internal BGP neighbors without them being advertised to other internal BGP neighbors. In this way, an internal BGP system avoids loops. Routing loops are more common in external BGP systems because they do not use a similar mesh topology. An autonomous system, also known as a routing domain, consists of a collection of networks that use the same BGP protocols.
They are operated by a single administrator or entity. This may be an enterprise, university, or another entity that utilizes a select set of routing protocols.
BGP takes into consideration all the different peering options a router has and chooses the one that is closest to where the router is. The functions of BGP include the sending of negative or positive reachability information and verification that the peers and the network connection between them are functioning correctly.

On the other hand, if you are looking at building in-site with multiple homes, you might want to consider BGP.
Generally, most of the service providers would adopt the BGP to carry customers' routes. One thing to mention is that they do not necessarily compete with each other, instead, they are used together in most cases. When that traffic needs to travel to another organization, whether it be to an MPLS network with other sites or the internet, BGP usually comes into play.
Here we list three popular network switches that support both bgp and ospf. Although BGP is used between multiple autonomous systems as an external routing protocol, many network giants like Microsoft and Facebook would use it internally — in this case, BGP is typically fit for very large networks which OSPF fails to handle.
There are a lot of scenarios in which you may choose to use BGP, or it might even be required. In the service provider world, BGP is used heavily, as it is the routing protocol of the Internet—but it sounds like your question is regarding the enterprise. In that case, you may be required to use BGP when interfacing with service providers for Internet and sometimes WAN connectivity, or you may choose to run BGP internally due to it being the most flexible routing protocol as far as routing policy goes.
Your enterprise controls a block of portable public IP space. Your organization hosts internet accessible services that utilize addressing from this address space. You typically have two options for letting the world know how to get to you:. Your service provider could advertise this space to the Internet via BGP and static route back to your environment.
You could peer with your service provider and advertise the space to them via BGP. In the case where you have more than one ISP, this is the only option.
You'd advertise the space to both service providers and then use various policies or manipulation of attributes to control the paths incoming traffic takes. In this scenario, the service providers may each advertise a default route to you rather than the full internet routing table and you may want to load balance your outbound Internet traffic across ISPs.
In this case, you might need to manipulate BGP to ensure traffic takes the path you want it to and return traffic is influenced back through the same ISP it left on.
This is super high level, but hopefully you get the picture. In this case, you'll typically have to redistribute your IGP internal gateway protocol e. The same thing will happen in the other direction. BGP isn't a requirement here, but it's typically what the service provider will want to run to keep things consistent across all of their connections to customers.
Anyway, this is really all about control. You may have layer 2 virtual networks for WAN connectivity or even VPN links that you could run OSPF over, but in some designs, you may need more control over routing policy to achieve the behavior you want over these paths, in which case, BGP might be the right tool for the job. Sorry to be somewhat broad, but every case is really different.
When you're just learning networking, especially from Cisco, they will simplify everything to help you understand the concepts. The best advice I can give is to learn it their way to get down the concepts and pass your certs, but keep your mind wide open. If you want to add something a bit less formal and a bit more real world to your network learning and training, definitely pick up some O'Reilly books related to the topics you're studying with the animals on them.
You can get them pretty cheap used on the Internet. As such, they have a simple metric for selecting routes. In many situations, especially between different organizations autonomous systems , the reason for choosing a particular path may have nothing to do with bandwidth.
It may be due to a pre-arranged agreement on who will carry what traffic, or based on some financial agreement. You may want to route some traffic to one neighbor, but different traffic to another. The main advantage of BGP is that it gives you much more control over what routes you advertise and what advertisements you accept from your neighbors.
BGP gives you more control over route selection and your neighbor's route selection. Keeping it succinct, BGP is needed primarily in a multi-homed scenario that is when you connect to two providers and want to achieve failover as well as apply policy maps.
Only in specific cases iBGP is required. Coming to packet tracer example, it's different than real world where connecting to ISP isn't the conclusion of routing. It's merely the starting, then comes applying policies, tuning the performance of link with QoS, prioritizing traffic, and more.
Unless you work in a small organization with sole objective of forwarding any type of traffic to ISP without advance routing, you may not want to rely on static routes and EIGRP. If you have only a single link to the internet then you have no real reason to dynamically exchange routes with your ISP.
