Routing protocols

Encyclopedia : R : RO : ROU : Routing protocols

Routing protocols allow different computer networks to communicate. Some commonly used routing protocols are:

Router Information Protocol (RIP)
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)
Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP)
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS)
Constrained Shortest Path First (CSPF)

IGRP and EIGRP are proprietary Cisco protocols, and are supported on Cisco routers or other vendors' routers to which Cisco has licensed the technology.
