EGP provides a means for different autonomous gateway systems to exchange information about the networks that are reachable via them.
EGP is generally conducted between gateways in different AS's that share a common network, that is, neighbor gateways.
The EGP process routing tables are maintained as two separate tables, one for exterior routes (via different AS gateways) and one for interior routes (via the gateways of this AS).
