You asked for papers, but I'm going to recommend a book -- "BGP4:
Inter-Domain Routing in the Internet: Inter-Domain Routing in the
Internet by John W. Stewart"
https://www.amazon.com/BGP4-Inter-Domain-John-Stewart-III/dp/0201379511

I used to buy a copy of this for everyone I hired -- it's short, and
to the point, and covers things (largely) from first principles. It is
now somewhat old, but mostly still covers things.
The other "standard" book is the Halabi book - "Internet Routing
Architectures". This was for many years the canonical BGP book, but it
is much longer...

Both books can probably be found used in many used book stores.

I'm not affiliated, etc in any way with these, but handing them to new
network people made my life much much better :-)
