<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Routing is meant when a computer exists that passes messages from your computer to the Internet. On the [[Internet]] between you and your friend a series of routers can exist that shuffle your message on to its destination.<br />
<br />
Routers have to be aware of certain protocols that allow them to make the decision where to hand off the [[packet]]. Say a link is severed out the one link and the router needs to make the decision to channel the packets out the backup link. A status on the link tells the router that a link is down, sometimes they have to run a heartbeat such as a simple [[ping]] packet to the other end to make out a downed host.</div>Pbug
