===================================
Abstract: This session demystifies the conceptual issues in moving
data across multiple hops. We give an overview of, and contrast the
functionality of these technologies, including an overview of link
state routing (used in OSPF and IS-IS), spanning tree (used in
bridging and switching), distance vector (used in RIP), and path
vector (used in BGP).
