Exterior Gateway Protocol Explained

The Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) was a routing protocol used to connect different autonomous systems on the Internet from the mid-1980s until the mid-1990s, when it was replaced by Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

History

EGP was developed by Bolt, Beranek and Newman in the early 1980s. It was first described in RFC 827[1] and formally specified in RFC 904.[2]

RFC 1772 outlined a migration path from EGP to BGP.[3]
