0.01 sec.

A routing protocol, sometimes known as a policy routing protocol, that is used to span different autonomous systems. EGP and BGP are examples. The routing table maintains the autonomous systems that are traversed in order to reach the destination system. Contrast with distance vector protocol and link state protocol. See autonomous system, routing protocol, EGP and BGP.
