what is routing algorithum?

A routing protocol which uses routing algorithms helps a router to send data packets to correct destination. When you write www.yahoo.com to the address bar of your browser and press enter, you make a request to yahoo.com but where the hell is that yahoo machine? \n\nFirst a DNS resolution occurs and your Internet Explorer learns yahoo machine's IP. Then send datas to the IP number. But then again how IP packets (data packets) find their way to yahoo? There must be some traffic polices - we call routers - that sends these data packets between themselves finally to destination. They are like stepping stones accross a river but there are lots of these stones and packets must cross the river via the shortest path to the otherside. So policemen - or stones - must know the next stone location on the path. \n\nFinally comes the routing protocols and their algorithms...  Routing protocols reveal routers (policeman, stepping stones, you name it), which way to the destination (the otherside of the river). To be precise which router is the next route to the destination, so that packets hopping one router to the other to be lasted on the destination : yahoo.com. Routing protocols uses some algorithms to make these decisions, and (at last) these algorithms are the ones you ask.\n\nBut you must not mix routing protocols with the routed protocols. The sending of the actual data is done by routed protocols, but the learning of the way by router done via routing protocols... \n\nPopuler Routing Protocols : RIP, IGRP, BGP, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First, not "Obtain")\nPopuler Routed Protocols : IP, IPX\n\nI hope the links I gave helps.\nCheers.

It is called a meander or an oxbow.  Wikipedia has a good explanation.

Check the link below for "routing protocols".  There are also "routed protocols".  Check the second link for a discription.

Sounds like the routing table needs to be updated. A router connects two networks.\n\nYour system can ping the router and your local resources.\n\nThe remote system can ping the router and access their local resources.\n\nBut the two networks cannot contact each other. The routing table in the router is what facilitates the two networks contacting each other. It tells where other PC's are on other networks. Without this, a PC wouldn't know where other PC's are on other networks and couldn't talk. Which is what's happening.

Also known as Proactive routing:\nRoutes are calculated before one is needed \nTries to keep routing-information to all nodes everytime up-to-date \nUpdate of the tables: \nEvent-driven: only if a change is recoginzed \nPeriodically

there is a problem in maths that is named "graphes" and the funtion of these routers is to use this solution, u can find it in math books!!!

Static routing, the alternative to dynamic routing,  is the process in which the system network administrator would manually configure network routers with all the information necessary for successful packet forwarding. The administrator constructs the routing table in every router by putting in the entries for every network that could be a destination. Static routes to network destinations are unchangeable.\n\nDynamic routing performs the same function as static routing except it is more robust. Static routing allows routing tables in specific routers to be set up in a static manner so network routes for packets are set. If a router on the route goes down the destination may become unreachable. Dynamic routing allows routing tables in routers to change as the possible routes change. There are several protocols used to support dynamic routing including RIP and OSPF.\n\nA default route is the network route used by a router or a server when no other known route works for a given IP packet's destination address. All the packets for destinations not known by the server or routers routing table are sent to the default route. A router determines which route is valid to reach an IP address by finding the "most specific match": the network with the longest subnet mask that matches the IP address wins.

The path data travels varies according to where the data is coming from, of course, but it should travel along the shortest route. If you're accessing a site that's hosted on a server in Egypt, it's not going to go all the way to the U.S. and back to get to you. It may be routed along a slightly longer route if there's something wrong with the lines in the area, or if you're using a proxy server (in which case it will go to the proxy first, wherever it's located, then to you). And the internet as a whole is decentralized.  It's composed of computers and service providers from all over the world, there's no common place all the data travels through. It doesn't get any more decentralized than that.

Since you are asking for a lot of information, I will give you a pointer instead of typing it all in.  This should help you quite a bit.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_routers#Types_of_routers\n\nGood luck,\nJeffrey

r u 4 r3al ?!! \n\nwhat mapping ? what equasion?  deckard maybe ? \n\nmore info please.

the administrative distance of a protocol?\ndo you mean "who controls who uses routing protocols and who uses them"?\num, well.... lets see.. um.. noone and everyone.\nit's "controlled" (researched and invented) by companies such as cisco.\nno one controls it. it's basically, follow the protocols (hence the use of "protocol") or dont use the internet.

If in your Options page you click to Show COMPLETE HEADERS, and send and email to YOURSELF, you will see what routing information, etc., that comes marked on your emails.\n\nBest wishes. :)

Hi \n\nDo you have the gov permitions for that ?? Also , try to have more links for re-routing if they cant find what they look for on your site. Anyway write me , cause i just saw a couple of holes on your website , you may want to secure it more !!!!

Well on our ISA server there is a directory called C:&#92;Program Files&#92;Microsoft ISA Server&#92;ISALogs that holds all the traffic it has seen passing through and details IP, Destination url/IP, date/time, type of browser etc etc.\n\nCheers

It's hard to know where to start on this one. this is a broad and complex topic that depends on knowledge of things like the OSI model, TCP/IP model, switching, routing, routing protocols, among others. \n\nI'll try to tackle this from a high level:\n\nThe information being transmitted includes the actual file/message, plus "headers." Headers are like instructions telling the network who is sending the file and where it needs to go. There are different types of headers for different layers of the network. \n\nThe information starts at the source computer, then goes from device to device until it finally reaches the destination computer. Along the way switches are using the Layer 2 headers to determine where to send the file, and routers are using Layer 3 headers to determine where to send the file. Once the destination computer receives the file, it strips away the headers and the computer uses the appropriate application to open the file for the intended recipient.\n\nMetaphorically speaking, it's like a letter and the post office. Someone writes a letter. They put the letter in an envelope, then put their return address on it. Then they put the destination address on it. The post office takes the letter, and they stamp all sorts of weird bar codes and lines all over the envelope, and these things tell the post office where to send the letter. Finally a postal worker at the tail end takes the letter around on his route and puts it in the right mailbox. The recipient opens the envelope and reads the letter. Neither sender nor recipient cares about the envelope or the route used, all they care about is whether the intended recipient got the letter intact.

Well Router usally solve collisons.
