• BGP connection establishment [r]: used to establish a TCP connection and a BGP session between two routers before they can exchange exterior routing information. ^[e]

• Computer networking reference models [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Control plane [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Default route [r]: The exit of last resort onto which a router can forward packets whose destination does not match any prefix in the local routing table ^[e]
• Default-free zone [r]: Routers in the default-free zone (DFZ) have no default routes in their routing table; they obtain all their routing information from local configuration and routing protocols, especially the Border Gateway Protocol ^[e]
• Intermediate System-Intermediate System [r]: One of two nonproprietary and highly scalable Internet interior routing protocols, the other being Open Shortest Path First. ^[e]
• Internet Protocol [r]: Highly resilient protocol for messages sent across the internet, first by being broken into smaller packets (each with the endpoint address attached), then moving among many mid-points by unpredictable routes, and finally being reassembled into the original message at the endpoint. IP version 4 (IPv4) is from 1980 but lacked enough addresses for the entire world and was superseded by IP version 6 (IPv6) in 1998. ^[e]
• Internet transit provider [r]: A Internet Service Provider that is connected to the default-free zone (DFZ), and, for a payment, will connect customers to the DFZ. ^[e]
• Internet [r]: International "network of networks" that connects computers together through the Internet Protocol Suite and supports applications like Email and the World Wide Web. ^[e]
• Open Shortest Path First for IPv6 [r]: A major revision of the Open Shortest Path First interior routing protocol, principally to let it carry both Internet Protocol version 4 and Internet Protocol version 6 information, but also to integrate various incremental enhancements to OSPF ^[e]
• Open Shortest Path First [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Routing information base [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Routing policy [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Routing [r]: The process of receiving a packet on one interface of a router, validating the packet and forwarding it out the appropriate interface. ^[e]
• Virtual private network [r]: The emulation of a private Wide Area Network (WAN) facility using IP facilities, including the public Internet or private IP backbones. ^[e]
