Overview of IPv4 and IPv6 Static Routing.

Static routing involves manually configuring routing entries into a router’s routing table. Unlike dynamic routing, which uses algorithms and protocols to determine routes automatically, static routes are fixed and must be updated manually if the network topology changes. Both IPv4 and IPv6 static routing follow similar principles but are applied to different address families. i. Default Route A… Read More »

How a Router Makes a Forwarding Decision by Default.

A router uses a systematic process to determine the best route for forwarding a data packet. This process involves several key factors: longest match, administrative distance, and routing protocol metric. Below is a detailed explanation of each factor and how they contribute to the routing decision: 1. Longest Match The longest match principle means that the router selects… Read More »
