Cloud Router enables you to dynamically exchange routes between your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and on-premises networks by using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

For example, if you use a Cloud VPN tunnel to connect your networks, you can use Cloud Router to establish a BGP session with your on-premises router over your Cloud VPN tunnel. Cloud Router automatically learns new subnets in your VPC network and announces them to your on-premises network.
