Routing algorithms are protocols and procedures used in networking to determine the best path for data packets to travel across a network from a source to a destination. These algorithms are critical in both computer networks (including the internet) and in telecommunications, ensuring efficient data transmission. ### Types of Routing Algorithms: 1. **Static Routing:** - Routes are manually configured and do not change unless manually updated. Best for small networks where paths are predictable.
