Term of the day: routing protocol
A generic term that refers to a formula, or protocol, used by a router to determine the appropriate path over which data is transmitted. The routing protocol also specifies how routers in a network share information with each other and report changes. The routing protocol enables a network to make dynamic adjustments to its conditions, so routing decisions do not have to be predetermined and static.

u should also describe the difference between routing and routed protocols

Yeah. A routing protocol is what routers use to communicate between each other routing/path information, to keep routing tables updated. Routing protocols are used in obtaining convergence in a routed network.
A routed protocol is something like TCP or UDP that is used from end-to-end devices like a client computer to a server. Some protocols like NetBEUI is an one protocol that is used from end-to-end devices, however, that is not routable.

Convergence makes me smile also does it for you as well?

Routing protocols are like RIP (routing information protocol) and IGRP (can't remmeber what this one stands for)

i'm just pulling this from faint memory but i think its internet gateway resolution protocol
i just have these little funny ideas of router and switching concepts that i incorperate in situations in life with people, i can crack myself up to no end. Man i have no life

IGRP is "Interior Gateway Routing Protocol." It's a Cisco propriatary protocol, which works on a distance-vector basis. Its metric calculation methods include network delay, bandwidth, reliability, and load. Special stability features of IGRP are holddown timers, split horizon, and poison reverse update.

Other routing protocols are is-is,bgp, ospf, etc. But I think these are only for a larger network like wan. Rip and igrp are for smaller networks in one domain. God these simpler protocols(rip, igrp) are so much easier to configure than bgp.
