nice question. I would say BGP is way too complicated to be a DV protocol. clipped from: http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/Topics/117.htm -Distance-Vector Routing Protocols This type of routing protocol requires that each router simply inform its neighbors of its routing table. The way BGP informs it neighbors and forms adjacencies I would say is why I would say it is most like a LS protocol, but it is an Exterior Gateway Protocol. clipped from: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios11/cbook/ciproute.htm#34601 Configure BGP NeBGP Synchronization Example In the configuration shown in Figure 19-14, with synchronization on, Router B does not advertise network 198.92.68.0 to Router A until an IGRP route for network 198.92.68.0 exists. If you specify the no synchronization router configuration command, Router B advertises network 198.92.68.0 as soon as possible. However, because routing information still must be sent to interior peers, you must configure a full internal BGP mesh. >>>>>Here it points out BGP sets peers to advertise routing information with >>>>>not just it's immediate neighbors Like other Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGPs), BGP must completely understand the relationships it has with its neighbors. BGP supports two kinds of neighbors: internal and external. Internal neighbors are in the same autonomous system; external neighbors are in different autonomous systems. Normally, external neighbors are adjacent to each other and share a subnet, while internal neighbors may be anywhere in the same autonomous system. >>>>>Here it points out a router forms adjacencies with it's neighbors in >>>>>BGP I look forward to seeing other replies. >>>Brian >From: cisco cabanaboy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: cisco cabanaboy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: BGP >Date: Fri, 26 May 2000 10:58:56 -0700 (PDT) > >Is BGP DV, or LS? > > > > >===== >ciscocabanaboy, CCNP-Voice, CCDP, MCSE, CNX, A+, N+, I-net+, BOFH... > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >Kick off your party with Yahoo!
