IGRP
Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, a distance-vector routing protocol developed by Cisco, designed to overcome the limitations of RIP by supporting multiple metrics for routing decisions.
BGP
Border Gateway Protocol, a path-vector protocol that makes routing decisions based on paths, network policies, or rule-sets. It is the protocol behind the Internet's routing architecture.
OSPF
Open Shortest Path First, a link-state routing protocol that uses cost as its routing metric. It offers fast convergence and is widely used in large enterprise networks.
EIGRP
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, an advanced distance-vector protocol that improves on IGRP and includes features from both distance-vector and link-state algorithms.
RIP
Routing Information Protocol, a distance-vector routing protocol using hop count as a routing metric with a maximum of 15 hops. Primarily used in small to medium-sized networks.
IS-IS
Intermediate System to Intermediate System, a link-state routing protocol used primarily in large networks like telecommunication backbones, utilising a shortest-path first algorithm.
PIM
Protocol Independent Multicast, a family of multicast routing protocols that allows a computer network to send one data stream to a multicast address which is then distributed to an entire group of recipients.
Dynamic Routing
Dynamic routing uses routing protocols to automatically adjust paths in a network. This method is flexible and can adapt to changes in the networking environment.
Static Routing
Static routing involves manually configuring the forwarding route. This approach is simple but doesn't adjust automatically to network changes, therefore is best for small networks with very stable routes.
BFD
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection, a network protocol that is used to detect faults between two forwarding engines connected by a link.
VRRP
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol, a standard protocol that allows for automatic assignment of available IP routers to participating hosts.
MPLS
Multiprotocol Label Switching, a data-carrying technique that directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses.
GLBP
Gateway Load Balancing Protocol, a Cisco protocol used to manage backup and load balance between multiple gateways in a network.
DVMRP
Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol, a protocol that facilitates routing of multicast packets in computer networks.
HSRP
Hot Standby Router Protocol, a Cisco proprietary redundancy protocol for establishing a fault-tolerant default gateway.
