This document discusses dynamic routing protocols and how they operate. It covers distance vector protocols like RIPv2 and EIGRP that do not have a full topology map and exchange periodic updates. It also discusses link-state protocols like OSPF and IS-IS that build a complete network map by flooding link-state advertisements and running the Dijkstra algorithm to calculate the shortest path. The document provides information on dynamic routing fundamentals, protocol operations, convergence, and compares distance vector and link-state protocols.
