Routing is the process of selecting a path for traffic in a network or between or across multiple networks. Broadly, routing is performed in many types...

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents...

Distance-vector routing protocols also require that a router inform its neighbours of network topology changes periodically. Distance-vector routing protocols...

Link-state routing protocols are one of the two main classes of routing protocols used in packet switching networks for computer communications, the others...

characteristics of routing protocols include the manner in which they avoid routing loops, the manner in which they select preferred routes, using information...

networking, a routing table, or routing information base (RIB), is a data table stored in a router or a network host that lists the routes to particular...

become the largest and best-known implementation of onion routing, then called The Onion Routing project (Tor project). After the Naval Research Laboratory...

Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) is a routing protocol for wireless mesh networks. It is similar to AODV in that it forms a route on-demand when a transmitting...

the routing algorithm, and as a result, in a group of nodes, the path to a particular destination forms a loop. In the simplest version, a routing loop...

Dynamic routing, also called adaptive routing, is a process where a router can forward data via a different route for a given destination based on the...
