Unicast Routing Protocols

Introduces the principles of unicast routing and the behavior of routing protocols used to build paths between source and destination networks.

Learning Goals

  • Explain the purpose of unicast routing in inter-network communication
  • Differentiate static routing and dynamic routing based on configuration and adaptability
  • Describe how routing protocols exchange information to construct routing tables
  • Compare key characteristics of unicast routing approaches such as distance-vector and link-state methods
  • Evaluate routing outcomes for given network topologies based on unicast routing principles
