Description: The number of EGP messages received without error.
What is egpInMsgs?
Counts EGP, or Exterior Gateway Protocol, messages received without error. EGP is a legacy, pre-BGP exterior routing protocol, so on a modern deployment this counter is almost always going to sit at zero; any nonzero, growing value would be a notable finding suggesting either legacy routing configuration still active or unusual traffic mimicking EGP. Example: egpInMsgs unexpectedly incrementing on a gateway that was never configured for EGP peering would be worth investigating as either a leftover legacy config or unusual crafted traffic.
