and EIGRP
This chapter covers the metrics used and other characteristics of routing protocols. Rout-
ing protocols can be categorized as distance-vector or link-state and as hierarchical or flat.
The CCDA must understand how each routing protocol is categorized to select the one
that meets the customer's requirements. This chapter covers the routing protocols at a high
level. The following chapters go into more detail about the operations and algorithms used
in each routing protocol.
