Adaptive Routing
Adaptive routing determines the fastest path for data packets to travel from a source to a destination in computer networks by using dynamic routing techniques. By monitoring and evaluating network conditions continuously and adjusting routing paths in real-time, performance, reliability, and resource utilization can be optimized.
In an adaptive routing algorithm, routing decisions are based on factors such as traffic load, link quality, and congestion on the network.
Introduction to Adaptive Routing:
Routing is the process of selecting a path for data packets to reach their destination in computer networks. Static routing is a traditional routing algorithm that uses fixed paths that are predetermined and does not take into consideration the network’s real-time state.
On the other hand, adaptive routing utilizes dynamic routing protocols and algorithms to decide on routes based on changing network conditions.
