The Control Plane: Static & Dynamic Routing
In this section, we discuss the three main techniques that can be used to maintain the routing tables in a network.
The main purpose of the control plane is to maintain and build routing tables. This is done via a number of algorithms and protocols which we will discuss here.
Note: Routing Algorithms vs. Routing Protocols. The software/hardware implementation of routing algorithms are known as routing protocols!
