What is EGP?

EGP stands for Exterior Gateway Protocol. It's a routing protocol used to exchange routing data between autonomous systems (AS). EGPs were historically used to connect the internet's core routers. A common example of a historical EGP is EGP itself (the original Exterior Gateway Protocol). They have largely been replaced by BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) due to BGP's superior scalability and support for policy-based routing.
