World of Computer Networking Your CCNA start - Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) versus Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)

The video tutorial explains the concept of autonomous systems and the routing protocols used within and between them. It distinguishes between Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP) like OSPF, EIGRP, and RIP, which are used within an autonomous system, and Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGP) like BGP, which are used for global routing between autonomous systems. The tutorial also highlights the differences between IGP and EGP, focusing on the types of IP addresses they handle and their routing information exchange. Finally, it discusses the types of routing protocols, such as link state and distance vector, and how they calculate metrics to determine the best path to a destination network.

Can you explain what IGP stands for and provide examples of IGP protocols?

What is the purpose of the BGP protocol in routing?

What are the main differences between IGP and EGP protocols?

Describe the role of routing protocols in selecting the best path to a destination network.

What are the two groups into which routing protocols are divided?
