Question 1: BGP Decision process

What is the first rule of the BGP decision process ?

Prefer routes having the highest local-pref

Ignore routes having an unreachable BGP nexthop

Prefer routes learned via eBGP sessions over routes learned via iBGP sessions

Prefer routes having the smallest MED

Prefer routes having the shortest AS-Path

Question 2: Hot potato routing

In the list below, which rules of the BGP Decision process corresponds to hot potato routing ?

Prefer routes learned via eBGP sessions over routes learned via iBGP sessions

Prefer routes having the smallest MED

Prefer routes having the closest next-hop

Ignore routes having an unreachable BGP nexthop

Prefer routes having the shortest AS-Path

Prefer routes having the highest local-pref

Question 5: Number of iBGP sessions

Consider a transit network that is composed of k different transit routers. What many iBGP sessions do you need to create inside this network ?

\(k \times (k-1)\)

\(\frac{k}{2}\)

\(k\)

\(\frac{k \times (k-1)}{2}\)
