Newbie question: If BGP uses TCP to work, TCP is above IP, and routers use BGP information to route IP packets, how may bootstrapping happen if needed?

- jauer 14y agoTypically no bootstrapping because IP (and thus TCP) work between hosts in the same subnet without routing. You would typically have a /30 or /31 subnet containing a pair of routers and have the routers communicate (BGP etc) using those addresses.
