1. Interior (within an autonomous system
a. Distance Vector - understands the direction and distance to any network connection on the internetwork. Knows how may hops (metrics) to get to that destination. Possible problems include: slow convergence, routing loops, counting to infinity (solved my max hop count). Solutions include: split horizon (cant send back where it came from); hold-down timers (prevent regular updates messages from recreating in tables that it is up); hop count ; Uses seconds hand info
1. RIP - routing information protocol - 15 hop count maximum
30 seconds update
Route invalid timer 90 seconds
metrics
2. IGRP - Interior gateway routing protocol (CISCO) - 255 hop count maximum, reliability factor (255) and bandwidth delay measured in 10 MS. Implements hold downs, split horizons, and poison reverse updates; 90 seconds
b. Link State - understands the entire network and does not use secondhand information. routers exchange LSP (Link state protocols - hi packets) Each router builds a topographical view then uses SPF (shortest path first) to determine he best route. Convergence is fast. Bandwidth is the measurement
1. OSPF (open shortest path first) - decisions based on cost of route (metric limit of 65,535) - used in he TCP/IP stack
2. NLSP - Novell’s Link State Protocol
c. Hybrid
EIGRP - (enhanced Interior gateway protocol) combined link state and distance vector - distance vectors triggered by change, not timers; Faster convergence, multiprotocol support
