Routing Protocols and Its Types

Description
Discussion

Routing is a process in which the network layer devices (either router or layer 3 switches) find the optimal path to deliver a packet from one network to another. Basically, there are two different types of routing algorithms: 1) Static routing 2) Dynamic routing This video mainly focused on Routing Protocols and their different types. So the term Routing Protocols are the set of defined rules used by the routers to communicate between source & destination. They do not move the information from the source to a destination, but only update the routing table that contains the information. The Network Layer of the OSI Model is responsible for providing logical addressing, which routers use to select the best path for routing packets.
