Introduction to Routing in IP: Intradomain & Interdomain
Explore the fundamentals of IP routing by understanding the roles of intradomain and interdomain protocols. This lesson helps you grasp how Internet domains organize routers to efficiently exchange routing information, avoiding overload and enabling scalable network communication. You will also learn about border routers and the distinct routing strategies used within and between domains.
We'll cover the following...
Introduction

Also, the scale of exchanging routing information would be humongous. Instead, the Internet consists of separate administrative domains. Each domain is run and managed by an independent authority.
The Internet is hence comprised of domains. A domain can be a small enterprise that manages a few ...
