The '''Border Gateway Protocol''' (usually known by its acronym '''BGP''') is a [[routing protocol]] in the [[TCP/IP]] [[protocol suite]]; specifically, it is an [[External Gateway Protocol|EGP]], used for providing the information needed for doing [[path selection]] between [[Autonomous System]]s.

It is a [[routing architecture|Destination Vector]] protocol; the data it carries are [[routing table]] entries. It detects and prevents [[routing loop]]s by tagging each table entry with the complete path.
