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.
