Difference b/w Routing & Routed Protocol

Routing Protocol Routed Protocol

A routing protocol is different and is only used between routers. It makes possible for routers to build and maintain routing tables.

A routed protocol is a protocol by which data can be routed.

Routed Protocols are IP, AppleTalk, and IPX.

There are three classes of Routing Protocols: Distance vector, Link state & Hybrid

Routing Protocols are network protocols used to dynamically advertise and learn the networks connected, and to learn the routes (network paths) which are available.

Routed protocols use an addressing system.

Routing Protocols are not available in a normal computer or a printer.

A Routed Protocol is an integral part of network protocol suit and it is available in every device which is participating in network communication

Routing Protocols normally run only in Routers, Layer 3 Switches, End devices (firewalls) or Network Servers with Network Operating Systems.

Example: Routers, Switches, Computers, Server etc.

Routing Protocols just concern about the Router.

Routed Protocols just concern about the mode of data transfer and also include the Source & Destination Address.

It’s about the Path. It’s about the Data.

Example: IP RIP, IGRP, OSPF, EIGRP

IPX RIP, NLSP, EIGRP

AppleTalk RMTP, AURP, EIGRP
