## AI overview

The article explains BGP wedgies, configurations with multiple equally stable outcomes that can cause BGP to converge nondeterministically, and points readers to a lab exercise for exploring and fixing one.

## Source excerpt

RFC 4264 defines BGP wedgies as "a class of BGP configurations for which there is more than one potential outcome, and where forwarding states other than the intended state are equally stable." Even worse, "the stable state where BGP converges may be selected by BGP in a non-deterministic manner." Want to know more? You can explore a real-life BGP wedgie and fix it in the latest BGP lab exercise.
