What do you understand from routing protocols?
A routing protocol uses software and routing algorithms to determine optimal network data transfer and communication paths between network nodes. Routing protocols facilitate router communication and overall network topology understanding. A routing protocol is also known as a routing policy.
What is analogy in networking?
Communication Network Analogy. It consists of hosts at the edge of the network and of routers in the interior of the network. The hosts and routers are connected by point-to-point links.
What is an example of a routed protocol?
Routed protocols are those protocols which support such data traffic. Examples of routed protocols are IPv4, IPv6 and AppleTalk. Examples of routing protocols are RIP(Routing Information Protocol), EIGRP(Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) and OSPF(Open Shortest Path First).
What are the two types of routing protocols?
The Internet is based on the AS concept; therefore, two types of routing protocols are required:
- Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP): Used for routing within an AS. It is also referred to as intra-AS routing.
- Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGP): Used for routing between autonomous systems.
Which analogy best describes the relationship between an IP address and network port?
You can consider an IP number to be analogous to a business’s telephone number (reaching the main switchboard), and the port number to be the telephone extension number for one person. This probably works better when there is no direct-dial to a specific person, and the main number is handled by an automated system.
What is a way that you can explain bandwidth simply using an analogy?
Bandwidth Analogy / Example The classic analogy for bandwidth is that of a highway. Say an interstate was designed to accommodate a set number of cars moving from point A to point B during any given hour. During most of the day, traffic moves smoothly, and cars can travel through quickly.
How do routed protocols differ from routing protocols?
Routing Protocols vs Routed protocols – Examples include RIP, EIGRP,OSPF BGP etc. Examples include IP , IPX , AppleTalk, NetWare etc.
How do you classify routing protocols?
Specifically, routing protocols can be classified by their,
- Purpose: Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) or Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
- Operation: Distance vector protocol, link-state protocol, or path-vector protocol.
- Behavior: Classful (legacy) or classless protocol.
What are the different types of routing protocol explain each of them?
Each of the following is classified as an IGP: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
What are routing protocols?
Similarly, in a network routers use routing protocols to determine the best path for a packet to travel through the inter-network more efficiently. Routed protocols are assigned to an interface and determine the method of delivering the packet. Now, lets move on to the different types of routing protocols.
What are routing metrics and why are they important?
A routing protocol can identify multiple paths to a destination network but needs to have the ability to work out which is the most efficient. Metrics allow the protocol to determine which routing path should be chosen to provide the network with the best service. The simplest metric to consider is hop count.
What is routing in computer networks?
There are many paths in which the data can be transferred. The process of selection of best path over other paths is known are routing; this can be done by software programmed devices known as protocols. Standard protocols help to find the best route to ensure good data transfer.
How does the link-state routing protocol work?
The link-state routing protocol uses a complex metric table to choose the best path for the destination network. As the name itself indicates that it works in linked format. It uses three tables. The first table contains information about directly connected neighbours. The second table handles the entire network topology.
