Routing protocols

There are two types of protocols.
1.Routed  2. Routing
Routed protocols are those protocols which are meant to carry information to the required destination like IP , IPX etc.
Routing protocols are meant for finding all possible routes in the internetwork. like Rip , Igrp, Eigrp, Bgp

Routing is the process of finding the route to reach the destination in the internetwork.
Routing can be static, dynamic and default.
Dynamic routing include routing protocols which automatically find the routes in the network.
Dynamic Routing Protocols can be either IGP or EGP.
Igp protocols are the protocols which are meant for a particular region, boundary or a single autonomous number. some of them include RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, IGRP..

BGP is the EGP protocol which is used between two different autonomous system or numbers and is meant for global networks.
