BGP - The BGP Weight Attribute

Border Gateway Protocol, or BGP, is a routing protocol that uses a series of attributes to determine the best path through large networks such as the Internet. These attributes are examined in a standardized and predefined sequential order. The first attribute that is examined is the Weight attribute.

In this video, we'll introduce you to this peculiar attribute and explain how it works, and under what circumstances it can and should be used.

If you want to find out more about the BGP routing protocol, or the method by which attributes are used to determine the best path, take a look at some of my other videos linked below (after the chapter list...)
