Ben, I stand corrected sorry for the mistype. you are right about using bgp as Exterior Gateway Protocol but I have used IBGP internaly on my network in the past. You should be able to segment your network into different AS's and do more fun stuff. -Mohamed On Mon, 12 Oct 1998, Ben Black wrote:
I would say BGP is an exterior gateway protocol and using iBGP as an IGP is unwise. Much like posting to nanog when you have no clue.

I would say the most interior Routing Protocol that is out there is BGP. It gives a better control of route announcements.

Is there an overview on what the dominantly used interior routing protocols are percentagewise in large AS backbones (IBGP, OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP, IS-IS, any?). I don't want to start religous wars on what's the best protocol, I'm rather interested if there is an overview available on the facts of protocols used. Is there an "objective" (vendor-independent) feature-based overview on the compared advantages/disadvantages (especially regarding redistribution) of the various protocols that goes with those numbers?
