Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is used to exchange routing information between autonomous systems on the internet, enabling IP packet forwarding between them. DHCP is used for assigning IP addresses to clients, OSPF is used for routing within a single autonomous system, ARP is used for mapping network layer addresses to link layer addresses, and IGP is a generic term for routing protocols used within a single autonomous system.
