Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) connects the largest networks on the
internet. Each network has an Autonomous System Number (ASN) and some
IP addresses. Registries like RIPE assign these ASNs and IPs. Packets
travel between BGP routers until they reach the correct Autonomous
System. These routers need to know the next router for any public IP
address, and the routes must get updated as the links between routers
go up and down, and as the IPs get assigned to ASNs.
