what is the difference between Routing protocol & Routed protocol ?

A routed protocol is a protocol by which data can be routed. Routed protocol are IP, AppleTalk, and IPX. In this kind of protocols we require an addressing scheme and subnetting. Addressing scheme will be used to determine the network to which a host belongs and to identifying that host on that particular network. All hosts on an internetwork are using the services of a routed protocol. That means routers, servers, but workstations to. The only two routed protocols that are in use today are IP and IPX but IPX is dropped from Cisco in exams and is not in use much these days. If you are studying routed protocols the best advice is to focus on IP routed protocol.

A routing protocol is different and is only used between routers. It makes possible for routers to build and maintain routing tables. There are three classes of routing protocols:

·         distance vector

·         link state

·         hybrid

 

OSPF is one of two link state protocols, the other one is IS-IS. EIGRP is the only hybrid protocol but in normal literature you will see that EIGRP is distance vector routing protocol. If you ask Cisco, they are speaking about EIGRP as Enhanced Distance vector routing protocol. Every other routing protocol is also from distance vector category. There are RIP, RIPv2 and BGP. Every protocol has a different administrative distance, RIP is120, IGRP is100, EIGRP90, OSPF110 and that static routes normally have a lower administrative distance than every other route, if you use the defaults a static router is1 and a directly connected router is0

A routed protocol is a Network Layer protocol that is used to move traffic between networks.
Routed protocols allow a host on one network to communicate with a host on another, with routers forwarding traffic between the source and destination networks.
IP, IPX, and AppleTalk are all examples of routed protocols.
Routing protocols let routers route routed protocols after a path has been determined.
RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP are all examples of routing protocols.

Routed Protocols are responsible for Data Carrier Protocols i.e. IP, IPX, Apple Talk While Routing Protocols decide path selection i.e. RIP, OSPF, EIGRP

-- > ROUTING PROTOCOLS ROUTING PROTOCOLS are the software that allow routers to dynamically advertise and learn routes, determine which routes are available and which are the most efficient routes to a destination.
Routing protocols used by the Internet Protocol suite include: Routing Information Protocol (RIP and RIP II) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) Cisco's Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Routing is the process of moving data from one network to another network.
Within a network, all hosts are directly accessable and do not need to pass data through a default gateway.
All hosts on the same network are directly connected and can communicate directly with each other.
--> ROUTED PROTOCOLS ROUTED PROTOCOLS are nothing more than data being transported across the networks.
Routed protocols include: Internet Protocol Telnet Remote Procedure Call (RPC) SNMP SMTP Novell IPX Open Standards Institute networking protocol DECnet Appletalk Banyan Vines Xerox Network System (XNS) Outside a network, specialized devices called ROUTERS are used to perform the routing process of forwarding packets between networks.
Routers are connected to the edges of two or more networks to provide connectivity between them.
These devices are usually dedicated machines with specialized hardware and software to speed up the routing process.
These devices send and receive routing information to each other about networks that they can and cannot reach.
Routers examine all routes to a destination, determine which routes have the best metric, and insert one or more routes into the IP routing table on the router.
By maintaining a current list of known routes, routers can quicky and efficiently send your information on it's way when received.
There are many companies that produce routers: Cisco, Juniper, Bay, Nortel, 3Com, Cabletron, etc.
Each company's product is different in how it is configured, but most will interoperate so long as they share common physical and data link layer protocols (Cisco HDLC or PPP over serial, Ethernet etc.).
Before purchasing a router for your business, always check with your Internet provider to see what equipment they use, and choose a router which will interoperate with your Internet provider's equipment.

routed protocol (IP, IPX, etc) route over routing protocols (EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, etc). lets understand it this way routing protocol provide path and routed protocols run through that path to reach any purticular destination. Hope you find this helpful. Thanks.

Routing protocols are used by the routers to fransfer data Such os RIP IGRP, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS

Routed protocols are the protocols that has been encapsulted in data packets to achive higher layer functions such as Telnet, RPC, SNMP, SMTP

 

Routing Protocol are like Rip ver1 / Rip ver2 , IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP )

Routed Protocol are like ipv4, ipv6, IPX, Apple talk ).

With the help of Routing Protocol,  Routed Protocol Information can be send / Receive to or from the router.

 

Routed Protocol:

 Routed protocols define the format and use of the fields within a packet.

Routing Protocol:

Routing protocols are used in the implementation of routing algorithms to facilitate the exchange of routing information between networks,routing protocols can themselves run over routed protocols.

Those protocols they are being routed by ROUTING PROTOCOLS (eg-EIGRP, RIP, OSPF,IS-IS,BGP) are ROUTED PROTOCOLS (eg-IPv4,IPv6,IPX,AppleTalk etc).
For example EIGRP routes IPv4 or EIGRP perform routing for IPv4.
Routing is a process of sending packets from one network (subnet) to another using routing table.
And Routing tables are usually populated by Routing Protocols.

Routing protocols distribute routing information throughout all routers on a network. By knowing about all other routers connected to the network, each router can determine the best path to use to deliver your traffic.

But Routed protocols can be sent over a routed network. Today, with IP (think of TCP/IP) being the predominate protocol in use on the Internet and in most networks, we don't often think about routed versus unrouted protocols. That is because IP is a routed protocol. Meaning, IP is designed such that it can be routed over and through different networks
