- Communication of routers to maintain and update routing tables used between ro
uters
- list network addresses int routing tables which contain all known network addr
esses and possible paths
- Enables router to direct user traffic
- protocol used by routers to maintain roting tables
- Pass routing table info back and forth
- Protocols send updates between routers and only send info about network not da
ta
Common Routing protocols
- Link state
broadcasts info about the cost of reaching each of its neighbors to all nodes
on network.
- Distance Vector
*updates upon a change
*sends entire routing table
*prone to routing loops
