OSPF runs over protocol ospf, so it's also different from the other routing
protocols. EIGRP uses protocol 88 and ISIS runs over CLNS so both of them
must be different too.
On the other hand, RIP runs on UDP, so I guess that it must be the same as
all the other routing protocols.

it's a bit more subtle than that - it depends on how the underlying router
operating system handles next-hop resolution and how you configure your BGP.
