Routing protocols

Table 5-1, ``Routing protocols'' lists the following about routing protocols:

• routing protocols supported by SCO TCP/IP

• whether the protocol is designed for exchanging information about networks interior to or exterior to an autonomous system

• the routing daemon(s) in SCO TCP/IP that supports the protocol

• whether the protocol is typically run on a router or nonrouter

• typical size of the network on which the protocol is most useful

• any distinguishing features of the protocol
