The term '''Exterior Gateway Protocol''' (often given as its acronym, '''EGP''') has two meanings: first, the generic one, meaning a [[routing protocol]] used in the [[TCP/IP]] [[protocol suite]] for providing the information needed for doing [[path selection]] between a connected group of [[Autonomous System]]s, and second, a specific [[protocol]] which was the first EGP.

The EGP protocol is now obsolete, and no longer in use. It was a [[routing architecture|Destination Vector]] protocol; the data it carried was [[routing table]] entries.

It did not have any mechanism for detecting and preventing [[routing loop]]s; EGP was only intended for use in networs in which the graph of AS connectivity did not contain any cycles. The current EGP, [[Border Gateway Protocol|BGP]] does not have this limitation.
