Just to expand on Sartan's explanation, RIP is what is called an Internal
Gateway Protocol ( IGP ). It is designed for an intranet's use only as it
has several shortcomings in extremely large environments.

The Internet uses External Gateway Protocols ( EGP ), the most prevalent of
which is BGP4 as Sartan stated. These protocols are intended to handle very
large and complex routing tables. They normally have more shortcomings in
smaller environments.
