Routing Fundamentals

Routing:- Routing is a process by which a packet gets transferred from 1Network to outher Network.

Destination IP Address
Out interface (egress)

Next Hop Concept 

A router cannot transfer packets to the destination network as it should unless the network is directly connected to the router. This means that a router sends the packet to the next router on the best path to the destination. the next router is called the next hop.

Routing Ways:-

There are 4 ways to control routing decisions and enable the router to select the next hop:-

i) Connected Network:- 

When you want to route packets between two networks, a router is used.In this case, both of the networks are directly connected to router's interface.

ii) Static routes:-

 In Static routing, the routes are configured manually to the router. The Administrator must configure all possible routes to each and every router to ensure full connectivity.

iii) Default route:- 

In computer networking, the default route is a setting on a computer that defines the packet forwarding rule to use when no specific route can be determined for a given Internet Protocol (IP) destination address. All packets for destinations not established in the routing table are sent via the default route.

iv) Dynamic route:-

 Dynamic routing is a networking technique that provides optimal data routing. Unlike static routing, dynamic routing enables routers to select paths according to real-time logical network layout changes. ... The most popular are routing information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).
