to be able to perform routing, a router, or any entity that builds routing, perform the following steaps :
- knowing the destination address-the destination (address) where things are routed sent ?
- identifying the sources of routing information-from the sources (other routers) anywhere a router can learn routes to that destination ?
- finding routes-routes or routes whereever that may be passed through to reach destination address ?
- choosing a path or route-selecting the best path or route to reach the intended destination addres.
- maintain and bery routing information-do paths to a destination that has been known still valid and true ?
- if the destination network is directly connected to the router, the router has to know which ports ae used to forward packets.
- if the destination network is not connected directly to the router, the router must learn the best routes to forward packets to the destination.
- entered manually by a network administrator, called the static routes
- compiled by the dynamic processes running on the network, called the dynamic routes.
