Lecture11 - Network Layer

This document provides an overview of routing protocols. It discusses static versus dynamic routing, scalable hierarchical routing, and distance vector routing protocols. It explains that the main task of the network layer is routing, which involves routing packets from source to destination using as few hops as possible. Routing protocols can be classified based on how routing information is updated, whether routing is table-driven, on-demand, or hybrid, and how network topology is organized as either flat or hierarchical. The goals of routing include quality of service, energy efficiency, scalability, and robustness.

Routing
Network Layer- Routing

• The main task of any network layer is routing

Route: [m-w.org]
Inflected Form(s): rout·ed; rout·ing

Network Layer-Routing
• The main task of the network layer is routing
– Route packets from a source to a destination using as
few hops as possible

• Each router maintains and periodically updates a routing


table

• Routing information is shared among routers

should be considered

– Quality of Service

– Energy Efficiency [Now Energy Provisioning]

– Scalability

– Robustness
