Routing > Path Vector

Path vector routing is a routing protocol used in computer networking to determine the best path for data packets based on a vector of autonomous systems (ASes) that the packets must traverse to reach their destination. It’s a specialized routing protocol, primarily associated with the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which is commonly used in the […]

Routing > Link State

Link-State Routing is a class of routing protocols used in computer networking to determine the best path for data packets based on the complete knowledge of the network’s topology. Unlike distance vector routing, where routers share information about their directly connected neighbors and the hop count to destinations, link-state routing protocols distribute detailed information about […]

Routing > Distance Vector

Distance Vector Routing is a class of routing protocols used in computer networks to determine the best path for data packets based on distance or “hop count.” These routing protocols are simple and work by periodically exchanging routing information with neighboring routers to build and maintain routing tables. Here are the key characteristics and principles […]
