Routed Protocol
A Routed protocol is a protocol by which data can be routed. In the case of Routed protocols, we require an addressing scheme and subnetting.
Addressing scheme will be used to determine the network to which a host belongs and to identifying that host on that particular network.
Important to share that Routed protocols are routed by Routing protocols to gather routing information for networks.
Examples of Routed Protocols
Some examples of routed protocols are IP, AppleTalk, and IPX.
Routing Protocols
Routing protocols are used to distribute routing information across routers on a network. When each router or Layer 3 device knowing about the networks connected to other Router, then each one can determine the best path to take to deliver your traffic.
Examples of Routing protocols
These are the examples of routing protocols – RIP, OSPF, EIGRP and BGP.
