Although BGP is a slow Distance vector protocol it has infinite hop count and can handle  a huge size of route table, BGP means Public IP where all other protocols like Link State Protocol OSPF & OSPF V2 operates on Private IPs.

OSPF - IPV4, OSPF V2 - IPV6.

  1. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is used at the edge of your network to connect your network to the Internet
  2. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is used internally inside your network

At the edge of your network, you would use routers to map BGP to OSPF and vice-versa.

Routing is not a simple topic - you should plan to spend a lot of time studying and designing your solution. There are also other protocols available such as RIP, IS-IS and IGRP which may be more suitable for your requirements.
