2 Replies 2

Bgp use tcp p2p so it not use multicast. 

Others igp like ospf use udp so it have multicast ip to send hello to all other neighbors.

Hello @abdul.qadir5001 

BGP uses TCP port 179 for communication between BGP peers, and it does not use multicast addresses. Multicast is not used in the standard operation of BGP. BGP speakers establish TCP connections with each other, typically over port 179, to exchange routing information.
