BGP confederation: A group of autonomous systems (AS) that exchange routing information with one another, usually using private AS numbers, with only one AS number visible to the Internet; a BGP scalability and fine control mechanism [e]

Subtopics
- Autonomous System [r]: A set of routers and Internet Protocol addresses, under one or more administrative managers, that present a common routing policy to the Internet routing system via the Border Gateway Protocol [e]
- Route reflector [r]: A means of increasing the scalability of the Border Gateway Protocol, with less overhead but also less policy control than BGP confederations [e]
- Transmission Control Protocol [r]: (TCP) A protocol that reliably delivers bytes across an internet. As long as the connection is up, bytes will be delivered without bit errors and in the order they were sent. It does not guarantee latency. [e]
