Hybrid Routing Protocols: "When you want the best of both worlds, distant vector and link state, you can turn to a hybrid protocol. The one hybrid protocol to know for this exam is the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)." -Exam Cram Network+ N10-008, Ch 3, pg 130

According to my notes from MIke Myers - BGP, is also a hybrid protocol....and with a lil google magic.... Examples Of Hybrid Routing Protocols Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP): EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary hybrid routing protocol that combines distance-vector and link-state routing. It uses a modified version of the Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL) to calculate routes and has several features that make it efficient and scalable, such as partial updates and route summarization. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP): BGP is an exterior gateway protocol (EGP) used to route traffic between different autonomous systems (AS). It is a hybrid routing protocol that uses both distance-vector and path-vector routing to determine the best path for traffic.

EIGRP combines features of both distance vector and link-state routing protocols.

EIGRP is the only hybrid protocol listed here.
