Hi,

          					I4m a student of the
          "Universidad Publi ca de Navarra"(Navarra4s University). I4m
          studing Telecomunications Engineering and I have to do a job
          about "exterior gateway protocol". I will be very gratefull
          if you can send me some information about this, a Web page
          will be o.k. too or the e-mail of someone who can help me.
          
EGP is an obsolete exterior routing protocol, which has been replaced by BGP.
Your best reference for information on it is probably the IETF (Internet
Engineering Task Force) RFCs - these are documents which specify Internet
standards as well as give other information. The following RFCs may be useful
to you:
0827 Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP).
0911 EGP Gateway under Berkeley UNIX 4.2.
1092 EGP and policy based routing in the new NSFNET backbone.

The newest BGP document is:
1771 A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4).
Though there are many others (~20).

You can retrieve these documents by ftp from ds.internic.net in the /rfc
directory. The filename is rfcXXXX.txt where XXXX should be replaced by the
four digit RFC number. 0827 and 0911, unfortunately, don't seem to be there;
they may be to old to have online copies in the repository. Try doing a web
search for RFC0827 or RFC0911 or rfc0827.txt, etc., and you might find a copy.

Out of curiousity, how did you happen to stumble upon the web page for my
course? It seems quite a bit out of the way from Spain. :)

Good luck,

elliot
