Routing Concepts
Link routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP to their distinguishing features and use cases.
EIGRP
OSPF
RIP
BGP
Link-state protocol that uses cost based on bandwidth, best suited for large-scale and enterprise networks requiring fast convergence
Advanced hybrid protocol that combines distance vector and link-state features with composite metrics, optimized for Cisco networks with fast convergence
Path vector protocol that uses policy-based routing to exchange routing information between autonomous systems, essential for internet-scale inter-domain routing
Distance vector protocol using hop count with a maximum of 15 hops, ideal for small, less complex networks
