What is Routing?

Routing is the process of determining the path that data packets should take to reach their destination. In a network, this can involve multiple routers and complex paths.

Types of Routing

  • Static Routing: Manually configured routes.
  • Dynamic Routing: Routes are learned and updated automatically by routers.

Common Routing Scenarios

  • Load Balancing: Distributing traffic evenly across multiple paths.
  • Failover: Redirecting traffic to an alternate path in case of a failure.

Advanced Routing Techniques

  • Policy-Based Routing: Using policies to control how traffic is routed.
  • VLAN Routing: Routing traffic within virtual local area networks.
