IGP standard protocols – the behaviors RIP (brief), OSPF, and IS-IS

Now, as we all know, the whole internet is a very big single entity comprising many smaller networks. These smaller networks relate to each other via some routing protocols. So, this means that when any computer is connected to the internet, that computer system is a part of a smaller network – this smaller network in terms of networking is known as the Autonomous System (AS).

These ASs are connected via the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), so if a computer from, say, AS-1 wants to communicate with another computer in AS-2, it transfers via the EGP. An example of EGP is Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

Therefore, following a similar concept, when computers inside AS-1 need to communicate with each other, they use the IGP. Examples of IGP are Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol (EIGRP), and...
