Routing is nothing more than
directions for getting from one network to another. These
directions, also known as routes, can be dynamically given to the
router by another router, or they can be statically assigned to
the router by an administrator.
This module introduces the concept of dynamic routing
protocols, describes the classes of dynamic routing protocol, and
gives examples of protocols in each class.
A network administrator chooses a
dynamic routing protocol based upon many considerations. The size
of the network, the bandwidth of available links, the processing
power of the network routers, the brands and models of routers on
the network, and the protocols already in use on the network are
all factors that must be considered in choosing a routing
protocol. This module will provide more details about the
differences between routing protocols that help network
administrators make a choice.

- Explain the significance of
static routing

routes

and default routes

protocols
- Describe the basic
characteristics of common routing protocols
