what is routing protocals & routed protocals.

Answer Posted / ram

Confusion often arises between routing protocols and routed protocols. While routing protocols help the router decide which paths to send traffic along, routed protocols are responsible for the actual transfer of traffic between L3 devices.[5] Specifically, a routed protocol is any network protocol that provides enough information in its network layer address to allow a packet to be forwarded from one host to another based on the addressing scheme, without knowing the entire path from source to destination. Routed protocols define the format and use of the fields within a packet. Packets generally are conveyed from end system to end system. Almost all layer 3 protocols, and those that are layered over them, are routable, with IP being an example. Layer 2 protocols such as Ethernet are necessarily non-routable protocols, since they contain only a link-layer address, which is insufficient for routing: some higher-level protocols based directly on these without the addition of a network layer address, such as NetBIOS, are also non-routable.
In some cases, routing protocols can themselves run over routed protocols: for example, BGP runs over TCP: care is taken in the implementation of such systems not to create a circular dependency between the routing and routed protocols. That a routing protocol runs over particular transport mechanism does not mean that the routing protocol is of layer (N+1) if the transport mechanism is of layer (N). Routing protocols, according to the OSI Routing framework, are layer management protocols for the network layer, regardless of their transport mechanism:
IS-IS runs over the data link layer
OSPF, IGRP, and EIGRP run directly over IP; OSPF and EIGRP have their own reliable transmission mechanism while IGRP assumed an unreliable transport
RIP runs over UDP
BGP runs over TCP

Write a program in ā€˜Cā€™ that will accept 10 numbers from the user, sort them & then perform the binary search. The searching number will be arithmetic mean of the 10 numbers accepted from the user. Write the sort() & binSearch() functions for performing the sorting & binary search. Also create display function() for displaying the list. Sort() function will use selection sort and only receive one argument (Single char type)as type of sorting i.e. ascending (a) or descending (d). Display the list after sorting using a display() function. binSearch() function will accept one argument as a number to be search & return null or the index position of that number in the array. display() function is non argument non return type function. It will simply display the list row-wise. Program should use these functions by displaying the appropriate message for found or not found.
