Recently an instructor in a class I was taking said something I found
interesting. I hope I can do justice to his words.

Network layer:            IP                  IP                   IP
Transport layer:         TCP             UDP
Application layer:      BGP            RIP         EIGRP, OSPF, IGRP

In other words, he suggested that routing protocols are application layer,
and use the chosen transport or network layer protocols to communicate.
Other reading I have done kinda says this in other ways. RIP uses UDP port
500. BGP, as we all know, uses TCP.

Does this make sense?

Dear group,

Am I correct for locate routing protocols in TCP/IP model as follows:
EIGRP,OSPF=network
BGP,RIP=Application

correct me.

TIA
