In order to make decisions in its operations with peers, a BGP peer uses a simple finite state machine ( FSM ) that consists of six states: Idle ; Connect ; Active ; OpenSent ; OpenConfirm ; and Established.

If unsuccessful, it starts the ConnectRetry timer and transitions to the " Active " state upon expiration.

In the " Active " state, the router resets the ConnectRetry timer to zero and returns to the " Connect " state.

** If an error occurs, BGP moves to the Active state.

** If the router was unable to establish a successful TCP session, then it ends up in the Active state.

Every destination in the topology table can be marked either as " Passive ", which is the state when the routing has stabilized and the router knows the route to the destination, or " Active " when the topology has changed and the router is in the process of ( actively ) updating its route to that destination.

The destination changes to Active state when current successor no longer satisfies the Feasibility Condition and there are no feasible successors identified for that destination ( i. e. no backup routes are available ).

It is important to note that this metric represents the last time the route went from Active to Passive state.

On the other hand, if a router needs to enter Active state for that destination, the FD will be updated with a new value after the router transitions back from Active to Passive state.

The transition from Active to Passive state in effect marks the start of a new history for that route.

For example, if the route to a newly discovered destination X went from Active to Passive state with a total distance of 10, the router sets the RD and FD to 10.

Therefore, the router has to transition to Active state and ask its neighbors for a new route to the destination X.

These neighbors will be re-evaluated for possible usage if the router transitions to Active state for that destination.
