"BGP is GPS for internet".
It certainly is not?
"internal BGP (iBGP) : informs each non-gateway router"
It does not? There are no non-gateway routers in classic BGP (without reflectors)?
"it updates the AS-path by appending itself to the path list"
the commonly used term is "prepending"?
"For iBGP, there is a TCP connection between each two routers in the same AS, given the only one of them is a gateway."
What is that even supposed to mean?
Why all the pseudo-math notation?
"That is it. There’s really nothing difficult about BGP in general."
This statement is tableflip inducingly inaccurate.
There is nothing simple in BGP.

- zajio1am 5y ago> There are no non-gateway routers in classic BGP There are. Unless you have flat network topology, you can use IBGP to feed external routes to internal (non-gateway) routers.
