RIP, HELLO, OSPF, BGP, EGP, SPREAD
all these are routing protocols. RIP, HELLO, and EGP are
distance/vector based, OSPF and SPREAD are link-state based, but what
exactly do these mean? do you have a comprehensive webpage?
am i right:
RIP: routers communicate between each other to inform each other of
distance to other networks. so when a router A, connected to B
and C receives a metric to network X via B of 5 but then later
via A of 3, it will route via 3.
HELLO: is similar, right?
EGP: also similar, but used between networks (out in the wild open
internet.
OSPF: link-state through which each router keeps a directed graph of
connections, and which is then parsed with Dijkstra's algorithm
to identify shortest routes.
SPREAD: what is this?
BGP: what is this?
thanks a bunch!
