EGP (Exterior Gateway Protocol) Gateway under Berkeley UNIX 4.2.

Abstract

This report describes an implementation of the Exterior Gateway Protocol that runs under the UNIX 4.2 BSD operating system. Some issues related to local network configurations are also discussed. The Exterior Gateway Protocol has been specified to allow autonomous development of different gateway systems while still maintaining global distribution of internet routing information. EGP provides a means for different autonomous gateway systems to exchange information about the networks that are reachable via them.
