Chabot College ELEC 99.05 Routed and Routing Protocols
Routed Protocols • Used by end systems to communicate (a computer to another computer, etc.) • Contain network-layer addresses of source and destination computers. • Examples: • TCP/IP • IPX/SPX • AppleTalk
Routing Protocols • Used by intermediate systems to communicate information about paths (router to router). • Contain routing information tables. • Examples: • RIP • IGRP • EIGRP • OSPF
2 Kinds of Routing Protocols • IGPs, Interior Gateway Protocols: used by routers inside an organization’s network • EGPs, Exterior Gateway Protocols: used between different organization’s routers
EGPs • We won’t study EGPs in this class. • There are two common EGPs: • EGP: Exterior Gateway Protocol • BGP: Border Gateway Protocol • BGP is newer and the most common.
IGPs • We study four IGPs in class: • RIP • IGRP • EIGRP • OSPF
RIP • RIP, or Routing Information Protocol • Very old protocol • Uses only one measure, or metric, to determine the desirability of a route: hop count • This type of metric is called distance-vector • Broadcasts routing information to neighbors every 30 seconds by default
Hop Count • Hop count is the number of routers a packet must past through to reach a destination. • RIP always chooses the path that has the fewest hops. (not always the fastest path) • RIP can only support routes with a hop count of less than 16. (16 is unreachable).
IGRP • IGRP, or Interior Gateway Routing Protocol • Cisco-proprietary • Uses multiple measures, or metrics, to determine best path, including bandwidth • Distance-vector metric • Preferred over RIP
OSPF • Open Shortest Path First • Non-proprietary • Uses multiple metrics • Updates directly to all routers, not just to neighbors • Link state metric
EIGRP • EIGRP, or Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol • Cisco-Proprietary • Uses multiple metrics • Combines features of distance vector and link state routing protocols (a cross between IGRP and OSPF)
Static vs. Dynamic Routes • Static Route • Configured manually into the router. • Useful for stub networks • Dynamic Route • Learned automatically and adjusts for topology or traffic changes • Useful when multiple paths are available
Static vs. Dynamic Routes • Which are stub networks? • Which offer multiple paths? • Where would we use each type of route?
Convergence • Link State routing protocols converge faster than distance vector routing protocols.
