PPP Overview
PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol Overview
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method for transporting multiprotocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP was originally emerged as an encapsulation protocol for transporting IP tr...
Distance Vector Routing
Any topology change in a network running a distance vector protocol triggers an update in the routing tables. The topology updates follow the same step-by-step process as the initial network discovery.
The process of updating routing tables is a...
Dynamic Routing Overview
Routing protocols are used to determine paths between routers and to maintain routing tables. Dynamic routing uses routing protocols to disseminate knowledge throughout the network. A routing protocol defines communication rules and interprets network...
