Routing in computer networks

Quoc‐Tuan Vien

Abstract

In this chapter, for a first view of routing in computer networks, the author will first discuss in Section 2.1 the fundamentals of routing along with an overview of algorithms for path determination. Static versus dynamic routing protocols will be described in Sections 2.2 and 2.3, respectively. Considering the routing protocols in different network infrastructures, interior gateway protocols (IGPs) and exterior gateway protocols (EGPs) will be sequentially presented in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 with relevant protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
