BGP Protocol Implementation
Configure and test Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing in ACK Club simulations. Optimize autonomous system interconnectivity.
🔧 Start Configuration🗺️ BGP Fundamentals
What is BGP?
BGP is a standardized exterior routing protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information between autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet.
- AS-level path selection
- Loop prevention using AS path
- Policy-based route control
Why BGP?
Key Advantages:
- Optimal inter-domain routing
- Scalable for large networks
- Flexible policy controls
- Convergence stability
🛠 BGP Configuration
Basic Parameters
{
"protocol": "BGP",
"local_asn": "65001",
"peers": [
{
"asn": "65002",
"ip": "192.168.1.2"
}
]
}
Tip: Use the --visualize flag to see BGP peering relationships diagrams in action.
Run Simulation
< span class="text-green-700"># Start BGP simulation
ackclub configure {
protocol: "BGP",
nodes: 2,
peers: [{"asn": "65001", "ip": "1.1.1.2"}],
timeout: "3000ms"
}
📊 BGP Simulation Results
Convergence Time
12.4 seconds average for AS path convergence
Routing Table Size
87 entries in BGP routing table after simulation
Message Count

🔧 Code Sample: Custom BGP Policies
BGP Policy Example
const bgp = new BGPModule();
// Configure BGP peers
bgp.setPeers([
{ as: 65001, ip: '192.168.1.2' },
{ as: 65002, ip: '192.168.1.3' }
]);
// Set local preferences
bgp.setPolicy({
65001: 'MED 100',
65002: 'AS-Path 200'
});
// Start simulation
bgp.run();
