Study Notes

Routing Tables

A static routing table is configured manually by a network administrator and remains unchanged until manually updated.
A dynamic routing table is updated automatically by routing protocols, reacting to changes in the network.

Routing Protocols

Routing protocols are used to exchange routing information between routers, enabling them to adapt to changes in the network and ensure efficient routing of data packets.

Autonomous System (AS)

An Autonomous System (AS) is a network or group of networks that operates under a single administrative entity, with a common routing policy.
An AS is analogous to a city, where routers within the AS are like traffic cops, directing traffic (data packets) within the city.
