 '''Static Routing''' is done on simple networks that do not change much.  They have a simple list of where to send traffic that comes their way.  This list is called a '''Routing Table'''.  If the network changes the list must be updated manually by the network administrator. 

 

-'''Dynamic Routing''' is done on large networks that are constantly changing.  In such an environment new links between networks are being added constanly and established links can disappear without warning.  Routers in these environments run programs that automatically (ie dynamically) update their Routing Tables.

 [Router Routers] know where to forward packets because they share information on where machines are using a '''Routing Protocol'''.  There are many routing protocols, although only a few are widely used.
