Routing Protocol Considerations

As we go higher up the OSI design structure, it is prudent to formulate certain design considerations in the sphere of routing. Routing considerations have gained more attention in recent times when it comes to the public Internet. Regardless of this newfound interest, there are specific areas that need serious consideration.
