Both RIP and BGP are applications in what sense? Only because they use the Port-numbers for identicification & that EIGRP, OSPF, ISIS etc dont? Transport Layer is Port numbers [in a very raw sense]. What Presentation Layer protocol does BGP & RIP use? And What Application Layer thing are we talking about for running them?? I personally think its just a sham to write these Protocols off as Application layer Protocols.

Both RIP and BGP are applications and therefore have an application layer. The transport layer protocol employed is largely irrelevant.
