312-49v10 Exam - Question 118


In a virtual test environment, Michael is testing the strength and security of BGP using multiple routers to mimic the backbone of the Internet. This project will help him write his doctoral thesis on "bringing down the Internet". Without sniffing the traffic between the routers, Michael sends millions of RESET packets to the routers in an attempt to shut one or all of them down. After a few hours, one of the routers finally shuts itself down. What will the other routers communicate between themselves?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

When a BGP router shuts down, the other routers in the network will detect the loss of connectivity and adapt by recalculating the best paths for reaching destinations and updating their routing tables. This results in a change in the routing fabric to bypass the affected router, ensuring the network continues to function despite the failure of one router. The routers communicate with each other using BGP update messages to exchange information about the changed topology.
