Router ( cont. ) - Routing Protocols

Border Gateway Protocol ( BGP )

The core routing protocol of the Internet. It maintains a table of IP networks or 'prefixes' which designate network reachability among autonomous systems. It is described as a path vector protocol. BGP was created to replace the EGP routing protocol to allow fully decentralized routing in order to allow the removal of the NSFNet Internet backbone network. This allowed the Internet to become a truly decentralized system. etc

Cicco Discovery Protocol ( CDP )

A proprietary layer 2 network protocol developed by Cisco Systems that runs on most Cisco equipment and is used to share information about other directly connected Cisco equipment such as the operating system version and IP address. CDP can also be used for On-Demand Routing (ODR), which is a method of including routing information in CDP announcements so that dynamic routing protocols do not need to be used in simple networks. etc

Connectionless Network Service ( CLNS )

It is an OSI Network Layer service that (unlike CONS) does not require a circuit to be established before data is transmitted. CLNS routes messages to their destinations In an OSI protocol deployment, CLNS would be the service provided by CLNP (Connectionless Network Protocol) and used by TP4 (Transport Protocol Class 4). However CLNP is not used on the Internet, instead its function is provided by IP. etc

Hot Standby Router Protocol ( HSRP )

a Cisco proprietary redundancy protocol for establishing a fault-tolerant default gateway. The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a standards-based alternative to HSRP. The two technologies are similar in concept, but not compatible. The protocol establishes a framework between network routers in order to achieve default gateway failover if the primary gateway should become inaccessible, in close association with a rapid-converging routing protocol like EIGRP or OSPF. etc

* Note :- There are many more other protocols that had note stated here. You can search it through search engine exist today.
