EGP Concepts and Terminology
EGP-2 is an exterior gateway protocol used to exchange network reachability
information between routers in different autonomous systems. In each AS, routers
share routing information using one or more interior gateway protocols—for
example, RIP or OSPF. The routers that serve as end points of a connection
between two ASs run an exterior gateway protocol, such as EGP-2 (Figure 8-1
).

The Nortel Networks implementation of EGP complies with RFCs 827 and 904.
EGP runs over the same LAN and WAN media/protocols that IP runs over,
including Ethernet*, token ring, synchronous, Nortel Networks Proprietary
Synchronous, frame relay, SMDS, X.25 (DDN, PDN, Pt-to-Pt), ATM PVC, FDDI,
T1, E1, HSSI, and PPP.
Note:
EGP assumes that each advertised network is a natural class network
(A, B, or C) based on its high-order bits. EGP cannot advertise or interpret
subnets or supernets.
