They left out BGP, one of my favorite routing protocols! There's still a bunch of ancient routing protocols out there. They work pretty well, so I guess you can't argue with success.
- kazen44 5y agobgp has changed a ton however. with new additions to the protocol happening nearly yearly.
- rayhaanj 5y agoYup, even the BGP-4 RFC 4271 is from 2006 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4271 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4271
- kazen44 5y agoalso, BGP-MP added so many new options with regards to NLRI that it can be used for many, many different use cases. For instance, BGP can be used as an mac learning mechanism (EVPN), It can be used to communicate MPLS LSP's, it can even be used for source routing.
- stevekemp 5y agoVery true! Also another omission was "finger" - although I guess that isn't used so often these days..
