Bgp(border gateway protocol)
It negotiates and sets up control options on the WAN data link.
ATM protocol is a WAN technology
Frame relay and PPP is used with WAN encapsulation. Frame Relay most closely compares to the OSI data link layer (Layer 2). If you remember that the word "frame" describes the data link layer protocol data unit (PDU), it will be easy to remember that Frame Relay relates to OSI Layer 2. Like other data-link protocols, Frame Relay can be used to deliver packets (Layer 3 PDUs) between routers.
Border Gateway Protocol.
According to Cisco Curriculum Semester 4 1.2.1.1 As described in relation to the OSI reference model, WAN operations focus primarily on Layer 1 and Layer 2. WAN access standards typically describe both Physical layer delivery methods and Data Link layer requirements, including physical addressing, flow control, and encapsulation.

WAN is an acronym for Wide Area Network. There is no specific protocol; we use the same protocols regardless of which network we are communicating with. The gateway computer determines whether a specified IP address resides within the intranet (the local network) or the internet (WAN) and routes the packets accordingly.
Routers works in the network layer of the OSI model and choose the best ,shortest and optimized path to route the packets received from data link layer and requested by transport layer. BY Naghma
