Dynamic Routing Protocols

These flashcards cover key vocabulary and concepts related to dynamic routing protocols, their types, functionalities, and characteristics.

Dynamic Routing Protocols

Protocols used to exchange routing information between routers, allowing them to dynamically learn and maintain routes.

Interior Gateway Protocols

Protocols used for routing within an autonomous system.

Exterior Gateway Protocols

Protocols used for routing between autonomous systems.

Distance Vector Routing Protocols

Routing protocols where routes are advertised as vectors of distance and direction.

Link State Routing Protocols

Routing protocols that create a complete map of the network topology.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

A distance vector routing protocol that uses hop count as its metric.

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)

A more advanced distance vector protocol that uses bandwidth and delay metrics.

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)

A link state routing protocol that uses a Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm.

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)

An exterior gateway protocol used to exchange routing information across the internet.

Convergence

The state when all routers have complete and accurate information about the network.

Metric

A value used to measure and compare routes to determine the most efficient path.

Administrative Distance

A value used to determine the trustworthiness of a route learned through a routing protocol.

Load Balancing

The process of distributing traffic across multiple routes that have equal metric values.

Algorithm in Routing

A finite list of steps used to accomplish the task of route processing and path determination.

Routing Table

A data structure maintained by routers that contains the routes to various network destinations.

Routing Protocol Messages

Messages used to discover neighboring routers and exchange network routing information.
