EBGP

External BGP. BGP configuration in which sessions are established between routers in different ASs.



edge router

In MPLS, a router located at the beginning or end of a label-switching tunnel. When at the beginning of a tunnel, an edge router applies labels to new packets entering the tunnel. When at the end of a tunnel, the edge router removes labels from packets exiting the tunnel.

external metric

A cost included in a route when OSPF exports route information from external autonomous systems. There are two types of external metrics: Type 1 and type 2. Type 1 external metrics are equivalent to the link-state metric; that is, the cost of the route, used in the internal autonomous system. Type 2 external metrics are greater than the cost of any path internal to the autonomous system.
