| Description |
|---|
| ISPs use BGP to share route information with other autonomous systems (i.e. other ISPs and corporate networks). If the perimeter router was configured to BGP peer with an ISP, NIPRnet routes could be advertised to the ISP; thereby creating a backdoor connection from the Internet to the NIPRnet. |
