Routing protocols

``Routing protocols and daemons'' lists the following information about the routing protocols supported by SCO TCP/IP:

• whether the protocol is designed for exchanging information about networks interior to or exterior to an autonomous system

• the routing daemons in SCO TCP/IP that support the protocol

• whether the protocol is typically run on a router or nonrouter

• typical size of the network on which the protocol is most useful

Routing protocols and daemons

Protocol	Interior/exterior	Routing daemon	Router/non-router	Network topology

RIPv1	Interior	routed and gated	Both	Simple
RIPv2	Interior	routed and gated	Both	Simple
OSPF	Interior	gated	router	Simple or complex
EGP	Exterior	gated	router
BGP	Exterior	gated	router
