What Are the Differences Between Static BGP and Dynamic BGP?

The differences between static BGP and dynamic BGP are as follows:
Table 1 Differences between static BGP and dynamic BGP

Aspect

Static BGP

Dynamic BGP

Definition

Routes are manually configured by carriers. If the network topology or link status changes, carriers must manually modify static routes in the route table.

When changes occur on a network using dynamic BGP, routing protocols provide automatic, real-time optimization of network configurations, ensuring network stability and optimal user experience.

Assurance

When changes occur on a network using static BGP, carriers cannot adjust network configurations in real time to ensure optimal user experience.

NOTE:

If you select static BGP, your application system must have the disaster recovery capability.

The multi-path BGP can detect the status of the access line and carrier's internal networks. When an internal fault occurs on the carrier network, another network will take over services quickly to ensure service availability.
