Routing Protocols — CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) Practice Questions
Routing protocols are the mechanisms routers use to discover network paths and share reachability information with one another. The Network+ exam divides them into interior gateway protocols (IGPs), which operate within an autonomous system, and exterior gateway protocols (EGPs) such as BGP, which connect autonomous systems. Candidates must distinguish between distance-vector protocols like RIP, link-state protocols like OSPF, and hybrid protocols like EIGRP, and understand how each selects the best path.
