Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) RFCs
Internet inter-domain (backbone) routing is currently done with the
Border Gateway Protocol, version 4 (BGP-4). This page lists the RFCs
that describe the formal specifications for BGP, RFCs that describe
its interactions with other protocols, and other RFCs that describe
different aspects of BGP.
