Routing protocols are the rules and algorithms routers use to exchange information about network topology and select optimal paths for forwarding data. Examples include OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, and RIP, which differ in scalability, convergence speed, and use case (interior gateway vs. exterior gateway routing). Network engineers and administrators rely on deep knowledge of these protocols to design, configure, and maintain enterprise and internet-scale networks.
