Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)<br />

an exterior gateway protocol with three components:<br />

• neighbor acquisition<br />

• neighbor reach ability, and<br />

• routing in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

EGP was designed to provide more automation in configuring routers.<br />

EGP is similar to the distance-vector protocols, but omits the metrics, since EGP<br />

was designed <strong>for</strong> the internet where typically routers are connected to a backbone<br />

(with its own routing domain) via a single router.<br />

• But since there are no metrics, if there is more than one path, then<br />

there can be a loop!<br />
