Understanding Routing in Computer Networks

This section introduces the concept of routing in computer networks using an analogy of finding the most efficient path from a source to a destination, similar to navigating traffic from office to home.

The Concept of Routing

  • Routing is essential for efficient data transfer from source to destination, analogous to choosing the best route in traffic.
  • Two types of routing exist: static routing where routes are manually set and dynamic routing where routes adjust based on network changes.

The Link State Algorithm and Reliable Flooding

This part delves into the link state algorithm, focusing on Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm and reliable flooding as key components.

Dijkstra's Shortest Path Algorithm

  • Developed by Edsger W. Dijkstra in 1956, this algorithm finds the shortest path between nodes in a network.
  • It generates a table for each vertex, aiding in determining optimal paths within the network.

Reliable Flooding

  • In link state routing, routers share complete topology information through link state packets to facilitate efficient data transfer.

Video description

The amazing journey of data packets from a data center to your device forms the backbone of the Internet. This data flow is governed to make the most efficient transfer of the data. It is apparent from this animation that this governing of the data, from the source to the destination, through such a complicated network is not an easy task. This whole process of the efficient flow of data from the source to its destination is known as routing.
