Dynamic Routing Protocols

Dynamic routing protocols are systems used by computer networks to automatically discover and update the best paths for data to travel across multiple connected devices, like routers. Instead of manually configuring each route, these protocols communicate with each other to share information about network topology. This allows the network to adapt quickly to changes, such as outages or new connections, ensuring data always takes the most efficient and reliable route. Examples include OSPF and BGP, which help large networks maintain optimal data flow without constant manual intervention.
