Is there an alternative to TCP IP?
For applications like this, there are alternatives to TCP. The most common alternative is UDP ( user datagram protocol ). Then UDP sends the data to IP, which adds the IP header, putting UDP’s protocol number in the protocol field instead of TCP’s protocol number. However UDP doesn’t do as much as TCP does.
What are the different protocols used in Internet?

What EGP protocol is used on the Internet?
Exterior Gateway Protocol
Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) is a Routing Protocol which is used to find network path information between different networks. It is commonly used in the Internet to exchange routing table information between two neighbor gateway hosts (each with its own router) in a network of autonomous systems.
