Networking Series Day--01

🌐 Networking Series – Day 1: Routing Essentials
Routing is the heart of networking—it decides how data travels from source to destination. Let’s explore:
🔹 Static Routing
Manually configured routes.
✅ Simple and secure, ⚠️ not scalable.
🔹 Dynamic Routing
Protocols automatically discover/update routes.
✅ Scalable, ✅ Fault-tolerant, ⚠️ Resource intensive.
Important Protocols:
RIP (Routing Information Protocol): Hop-count metric, max 15 hops. Simple but not scalable.
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First): Link-state protocol, uses Dijkstra’s Algorithm, supports areas for scalability.
EIGRP (Enhanced IGRP): Cisco proprietary, fast convergence, balances simplicity and efficiency.
🔹 Default Route
A “catch-all” route (0.0.0.0/0) when no specific route exists.

💡 Takeaway: Routing protocols are the brain of network communication—choosing the right one depends on network size and needs.
