AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
An IP network, or networks, controlled by one or more operators
with a clear policy that governs how routing decisions are made.
BASIC DEFINITIONS
Routing
As a basic concept on data communication networks, routing is the process of packet relaying or forwarding, and the
process provides route information for packet forwarding.
Routing Protocols
Routing protocols are rules used by routers to discover routes, add routes, and maintain routing tables for packet
forwarding.
Routers
As a standard network connection device, a router is used to select routes and forward packets. Based on the
destination address in the received packet, a router selects a path to send the packet to the next router. The last
router is responsible for sending the packet to the
Static and Dynamic Routes
Static routes can be easily configured and have low requirements on the system. They apply to simple, stable, and
small-scale networks. However, they cannot automatically adapt to network topology changes. Therefore, static
routes require subsequent maintenance.
Dynamic routing protocols have their routing algorithms and can automatically adapt to network topology
changes. They apply to the network equipped with a number of Layer 3 devices. Dynamic route configurations are
complex. Dynamic routes have higher requirements on a system than static ones do and consume network
resources.
DYNAMIC ROUTING
Dynamic routing protocols can be classified based on the following criteria.
Based on the Application Scope
Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP):.
Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP):
Based on the Routing Algorithm
Distance-vector routing protocol: includes RIP and BGP. BGP is also called a path-vector protocol.
Link-state routing protocol: includes OSPF and IS-IS.
Based on the Destination Address Type
Unicast routing protocol: includes RIP, OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS.
Multicast routing protocol: includes Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM).

LOAD BALANCING AND ROUTE BACKUP
Load Balancing
Per-packet load balancing
With per-packet load balancing, the router forwards packets destined for the same destination through equal-cost
routes, and each time the next hop address is different from the last one.
Per-destination load balancing
After per-destination load balancing is configured, the router forwards packets based on the quintuple (the source
address, destination address, source port, destination port, and protocol in the packets).
Route Backup
The Routers supports route backup to improve network reliability. You can configure multiple routes to the same
destination as required. The route with the highest priority functions as the primary route, and the other routes with
lower priorities function as backup route

well as the forwarding interface and next-hop. Page 11

The IP routing table lists the networks that are reachable via the
router. Packets that have no route are subsequently discarded. Page 12
