Day 5 – Routing Basics | How Do Packets Find Their Way? | Learn Networking in 30 Days

Welcome to Day 5 of our Learn Networking in 30 Days series! 🚀

In this lesson, we dive into the world of Routing – the process that decides how data packets travel across the internet from your device to their destination. 🌍

🔹 What you’ll learn today:

What is Routing and why it’s important.

The role of Routers in directing packets.

Understanding Routing Tables (Destination, Next Hop, Metrics).

The difference between Default Routes and specific routes.

How packets move across multiple routers (Hops).

Introduction to Routing Protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP).

Hands-on practice: Using Traceroute to see the actual path your packets take.

By the end of this video, you’ll understand how the internet works behind the scenes to make sure your data reaches the right place, quickly and efficiently.

📖 Homework / Practice:
Run tracert google.com (Windows) or traceroute google.com (Linux/Mac) and analyze how many hops your packets take!
