There are several different types of routing protocols, and depending on the exact definition of “routing protocol“ there can be anywhere from two to over a dozen. The two main categories of routing protocols are Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) and Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGPs). IGPs include protocols such as OSPF, RIP and EIGRP, while the most widely used EGP is BGP.
