Re: Split Horizon

Hi Anthony,

I like today's core knowledge question, however are we OK to say that
BGPv4 packets are designated by IP protocol 6. TCP is designated by IP
protocol number 6 and BGP uses TCP as its underlying transport
protocol.So ideally it is a TCP packet that is designated by IP
protocol 6 .

I mean RIP uses UDP so if we say that RIP packets are designated by IP
protocol 17 , will that be a correct statement ?

Hope I am not asking something silly ;-)

Thanks
Ravi
