Dynamic Routing - aljimenez28/champlain GitHub Wiki

Important Info Purpose: routers automatically learn routes from other routers

RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

• Type: Distance Vector
• Metric: Max 15 hops
• sends entire table every 30 secs (requests every 60 sec)
• Simple but slow convergence and less efficient

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)

• Type: Link State
• Metric: Cost (Based on bandwidth)
• Sends "Hello packets" and only changes when topology changes
• Faster and more scalable than RIP
