Drawn that way, there's little difference between OSPF, EIGRP, and ISIS.
But I suspect that you meant:

           RIP         BGP        OSPF    (E)IGRP
           UDP         TCP        (none)  (none)
           -------------------IP-----------------
                             802.2
                           MAC layer
