ROUTING PROTOCOLS      

ROUTING PROTOCOLS are the software that allow routers to dynamically advertise and learn routes, determine which routes  are available and which are the most efficient routes to a destination. Routing protocols used by the internet protocol suite include:
  • Routing Information Protocol (RIP and RIP II)
  • Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
  • Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS)
  • Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)
  • Cisco's Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
  • Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
