What is Routing Protocols?
Routing protocol is used to gather routing entry information to route anything successfully across the network. For this Router needs to know following key information:
· The destination of the packet that need to be routed.
· A routing entry for that destination. (This can include unknown default route)
· The destination of the packet that need to be routed.
· A routing entry for that destination. (This can include unknown default route)
Routing protocol uses a different method to gather information about available networks and distance, or cost. Routing protocol can be classified into two main categories.
1. Distance vector routing protocols – RIP, IPX, IPX RIP, AppleTalk RTMP, IGRP
2. Link-state routing protocols – OSPF,IPX NLSP, IS-IS
