Routing protocols do not belong in the transport layer, they belong in the Network layer. The Douglas Comer quote is taken out of context...yes ggp is encapsulated in IP Datagrams the same as transport layer protocols such as UDP and TCP, but encapsulation does not define a layer. Further, a routing protocol performs none of the functions of the transport layer. I am changing the article to reflect this information. If you disagree, I suggest contacting Douglas Comer himself; he can be reached at Purdue where he serves as a professor in the computer science department. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.194.119.226 (talk) 14:52, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment is well taken and the article has been corrected. However, the fewest routing protocols belong in the Internet Layer in TCP/IP. That is a feature of some later versions of the OSI model. Kbrose (talk) 16:18, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
