Attributes

Routes learned using BGP have associated properties that are used to determine the best route to a destination when multiple paths exist to a particular destination. These properties are called BGP attributes which influence route selection for designing robust networks. There are no hard coded limits on the number of supported BGP attributes.

BGP attributes for route selection:

  • Weight
  • Local preference
  • Multiexit discriminators
  • Origin
  • AS path
  • Next-hop

Communities

BGP communities are sets of routes with one or more common attributes. Communities assign common attributes to multiple routes simultaneously. Duplicate communities are not rejected.
