Ben, I stand corrected sorry for the mistype.

you are right about using bgp as Exterior Gateway Protocol but I have used
IBGP internaly on my network in the past.  You should be able to segment
your network into different AS's and do more fun stuff.

I don't want to start religous wars on what's the best protocol, I'm rather interested if there is an overview available on the facts of protocols used. Is there an "objective" (vendor-independent) feature-based overview on the compared advantages/disadvantages (especially regarding redistribution) of the various protocols that goes with those numbers?
