Routing Protocols - Define Top Network Routing Protocols

Routing is a process in which the layer 3 devices (either router or layer 3 switch) finds the optimal path to deliver a packet from one network to another. Dynamic routing protocols uses metric, cost and hop count to identify the best path from the path available for destination network. Below are the types of Routing Protocol: - Distance Vector Routing Protocol RIP IGRP - Link State Routing Protocol OSPF IS-IS - Advanced Distance vector routing protocol EIGRP Distance Vector Routing Protocol: Distance vector protocols usually send the complete routing table to each neighbor (a neighbor is directly connected router that runs the same routing protocol). They employ some version of Bellman-Ford algorithm to calculate the best routes. Compared with link state routing protocols. Distance vector protocols are easier to configure and require little management, but are susceptible to routing loops and converge slower than the link s
