The AGL equation includes all multiple pomeron exchanges in the double logarithmic approximation (DLA) limit, leading to an unitarized gluon distribution in the small x regime. This equation was originally obtained using the Glauber-Mueller approach. We demonstrate in this contribution that the AGL equation can also be obtained from the dipole picture. Our conclusion is that the AGL equation is...
