Stub and Multihomed Autonomous Systems
An AS can include one or more BGP speakers that establish peer-to-peer sessions
with BGP speakers in other autonomous systems to provide external route
information for the networks within the AS. A multihomed AS has multiple BGP
speakers. A stub AS has a single BGP speaker that establishes a peer-to-peer
session with one external BGP speaker. The BGP speaker provides external route
information only for the networks contained within its own AS.
Interior BGP Routing
Nortel Networks implements interior BGP (IBGP) intra-AS routing. With IBGP,
each router in the AS runs an interior gateway protocol (IGP), such as OSPF, for
internal routing updates and also maintains an IBGP connection to each BGP
border router. The IBGP information, along with the IGP route to the originating
BGP border router, determines the next hop to use for external networks.
Some IGPs carry no BGP information. However, an OSPF type 5 LSA can carry
BGP-specific information in its tag field. Each router uses IBGP exclusively to
determine reachability to external networks. When an IBGP update for a network
is received, it is passed to IP for inclusion in the routing table only if a viable IGP
route to the correct border gateway is available.
An AS with more than one BGP speaker can use IBGP to provide a transit service
for networks outside the AS. An AS that provides this service is called a transit
AS (Figure 1-3
).
