Just so I am clear (and forgive me if this too pedantic) you are interested
in the routing algorithim and the basic protocol to get the information
to the routing algorithim BUT not (at this point) policy route selection.

I mention this because in the intro you mention BGP which to my mind
encompasses
a protocol, a routing algorthim and some pieces of policy enabling. Later
you are only using the term routing algorithms  which is only one piece of
this.  Again if all of this is clear to everyone but me just tell to move
along :)
