  EGP - Exterior Gateway Protocol
Not to be confused with the general term exterior gateway protocol.
EGP is an obsolete protocol that was replaced by BGP.
A reachability routing protocol used by a gateway or router in one autonomous system to advertise the IP addresses of networks in that autonomous system to a gateway or router in another autonomous system.

 Existing Routing Protocols and IPv6   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Various routing protocols have been developed over the years to deal with the various types of routing problem domains, ranging from internal routing protocols (routing within an autonomous system) to external routing protocols (routing between different autonomous systems).
The current routing protocols are adequate for the current version of the IP protocol (IPv4), but they are not without their problems, the largest of which is the explosion in routing table size caused by the unforeseen growth of the Internet.
The Inter-Domain Routing Protocol (IDRP) was first designed for use with the OSI family of protocols developed by the ISO, and is defined in the ISO standard 10747.

 InformIT -- Gateway and Routing Protocols   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
EGP messages between gateways are usually sent whenever a connection problem exists and the routing information is set to its maximum (worst) value, or when a better connection alternative has been discovered for some reason.
The number of internal gateways and number of external gateways fields specify the number of interior and exterior gateways that are reported in the message, respectively.
EGP is also a state-driven protocol, meaning that it depends on a state table containing values that reflect gateway conditions and a set of operations that must be performed when a state table entry changes.

 Protocol: IGRP ( Interior Gateway Routing Protocol )
It is possible that a gateway that has not yet gotten the triggered update will issue a regular update at just the wrong time, causing the bad route to be reinserted in a neighbor that had already gotten the triggered update.
EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol) is for exchanging routing information between two neighbor gateway hosts in a network of autonomous systems.

If the transport protocol connect fails (e.g., retransmission timeout), the local system restarts the ConnectRetry timer, continues to listen for a connection that may be initiated by the remote BGP peer, and changes its state to Active state.
If a disconnect notification is received from the underlying transport protocol, the local system closes the BGP connection, restarts the ConnectRetry timer, while continue listening for connection that may be initiated by the remote BGP peer, and goes into the Active state.

 Border Gateway Protocol
Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP-4), documented in RFC 1771, is the current exterior routing protocol used for the global Internet.
The AS's interior routing protocol is responsible for computing an interior route to reach the BGP NEXT_HOP.
The two most important consequences of this design are the need for interior routing protocols to reach one hop beyond the AS boundary, and for BGP sessions to be fully meshed within an AS.

 BGP, Border Gateway Protocol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
This is an advisory qualification to readvertisement of a route prefix, permitting an AS not to readvertise the route prefix to all external bilateral peer neighbour AS's.
It is consistent with these semantics that an AS may filter received prefixes that are received across a peering session that the receiver regards as a bilateral peer sessions.

 Introduction to the Border Gateway Patrol > Exterior and Interior Gateway Protocols   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
When networks were small, there was no concept of interior and exterior gateway protocols; a network ran a routing protocol, and that was the end of it.
Routing protocols providing reachability information within an autonomous system need to be focused on one thing: providing accurate information about the topology of the network as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Some policy propogation is creeping into interior gateway protocols in the form of information about the quality of service across various paths within a network; even here, the definitions of interior and exterior routing becomes blurred.

 RFC 1163 (rfc1163) - Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
Implementers are encouraged to track the progress of this or any protocol as it moves through the standardization process, and to report their own experience with the protocol.
In response to the ConnectRetry timer expired event, the local system restarts the ConnectRetry timer, initiates a transport connection to other BGP peer, continues to listen for a connection that may be be initiated by the remote BGP peer, and changes its state to Connect.
The reason for doing this is that routing policies are viewed as external to the protocol and as determined by the local AS administrator.

 Historical Protocol Development Summary
He explicitly stated EGP was not a generic hierarchical routing protocol and cautioned developers by including strong statements highlighting the limitations of EGP.
6] and to overcome the tree-topology limitations of EGP, by pruning routing loops in a meshed AS graph, a new exterior routing protocol, Border Gateway Protocol, was proposed in RFC 1105 [
A strong polemic can be formulated around the premise: policy-based routing issues dominated IP exterior routing protocol development and detracted from the development of a more robust scalable global routing paradigm.

 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
BGP is an exterior gateway protocol (EGP), which means that it performs routing between multiple autonomous systems or domains and exchanges routing and reachability information with other BGP systems.
Note EGP is a particular instance of an exterior gateway protocol (also EGP)---the two should not be confused.
As with any routing protocol, BGP maintains routing tables, transmits routing updates, and bases routing decisions on routing metrics.
