Routing Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Routing
Routing (or routeing) is the process of selecting paths in a network along which to send data or physical traffic. Routing is performed for many kinds of networks, including the telephone network, the Internet, and transport networks.

Routing directs forwarding, the passing of logically addressed packets from their source toward their ultimate destination through intermediary nodes; typically hardware devices called routersbridgesgatewaysfirewalls, or switches. Ordinary computers with multiple network cards can also forward packets and perform routing, though with more limited performance. The routing process usually directs forwarding on the basis of routing tables which maintain a record of the routes to various network destinations. Thus constructing routing tables, which are held in the routers' memory, becomes very important for efficient routing.
