Network Routing

Network routing is the process of directing data traffic over the internet or within a private network. Just as postal mail uses addresses and postal routes to ensure delivery, network routing uses IP addresses and routing protocols to send information from one computer to another. Routers, which are specialized devices, determine the best path for data packets to reach their destination efficiently. This involves considering various factors, such as network congestion and available bandwidth, to optimize performance and ensure that information arrives quickly and reliably.
