Types
Dynamic routing protocols can be divided into two main categories:
IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol)
Used to share routes within a single autonomous system (AS), which is a single organization (ie. a company).
EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol)
Used to share routes between different autonomous systems.
Algorithm type
Routing type | Algorithm type | Protocol |
---|---|---|
IGP | Distance Vector | Routing Information Protocol (RIP) |
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) | ||
Link State | Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) | |
Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) | ||
EGP | Path Vector | Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) |
