What is Routing and it's two types ?

Hi everyone, on today we are going to learn about static routing in simplified terms to understand.

1. Routing is one of the most essential procedures in data communication. 
2. It ensures that data travels from one network to another with optimal speed and minimal delay, and that its integrity is maintained in the process.

Broadly, routing is performed in two different ways: 

• Dynamic routing continuously updates its routing table with paths and their cost/metric, while making optimal routing decisions based on changing network operating environments.
• Static routing performs routing decisions with preconfigured routes in the routing table, which can be changed manually only by administrators. Static routes are normally implemented in those situations where the choices in route selection are limited, or there is only a single default route available. Also, static routing can be used if you have only few devices for route configuration and there is no need for route change in the future.

For example : When we see in everyday life or in official use for business or any corporate companies they will always go on with this static routing and it is considered as the simplest form of routing. Also, it is a manual configuration and selection of a network route, usually managed by the network administrator. It is employed in scenarios where the network parameters and environment are expected to remain constant.
