Learning Topic

IP Routing IP routing is a technique of determining the path the IP packets are taking when being

transmitted from source to destination. These paths are determined by routers, which

analyze the packet's destination address and decide the next location to forward the

packet. Routers maintain routing tables, which can be updated dynamically.
