A protocol which distributes routing information to the routers which connect autonomous systems. The term "gateway" is historical, as "router" is currently the preferred term. There is also a routing protocol called EGP defined in STD 18, RFC 904. See also: Autonomous System, Border Gateway Protocol, Interior Gateway Protocol. [Source: RFC1392
A protocol which gives TCP/IP routing information to a network's exterior gateways: the gateways (routers) that connect the network to other independent networks.
a routing protocol that is used to pass routing information from one autonomous system to another
The protocol used by a gateway in one autonomous system to advertise the IP addresses of networks in that system to a gateway in another autonomous system.
A protocol used to communicate network reachability and routing information between autonomous systems. Also called an inter-domain routing protocol. Example: GGP, EGP (“EGP” is an EGP), BGP
The protocol that distributes routing information to the gateways that interconnect networks. A class of routing protocols used to exchange routing information within an autonomous system. One of a class of exterior gateway protocols.

The Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) is a routing protocol for the Internet originally specified in 1982 by Eric C. Rosen of Bolt, Beranek and Newman, and David L. Mills.
