		<description><![CDATA[
Cisco has used the three-level hierarchical network design model for years. This older model (also referred to as the switch block model) provided a high-level idea of how a reliable network could be conceived but was largely conceptual, because it did not provide specific guidance.


Cisco therefore developed a newer design model-the enterprise composite model-that is [...]]]></description>

The lower the distance, the better. The lower the value the better the route is believable. These values can be changed with the distance command.

		<description><![CDATA[IGP:

Within a single autonomous system
Single network administration
Unique routing policy
Make best use of network resource
An IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) is a protocol for exchanging routing information between gateways (hosts with routers) within an autonomous network (for example, a system of corporate local area networks).
IGP&#8217;s fall into two categories:

 Distance Vector Protocols

Router will advertise a route as a vector of direction and distance.Direction refers to a port that leads to the next router along the path to the destination, and distance is a metric that indicates the number of hops to the destination
Distance Vector protocols determine best path on how far the destination is.

A Layer 3 switch is a high-performance device for network routing.
Layer 3 switch can be deployed anywhere in the LAN where a traditional router can be or has been used.
A Layer 3 switch can support the same routing protocols as network routers do.
A traditional router organizes bridging (Layer 2) and routing (Layer 3) as peers. [...]]]></description>

Algorithm:
Routers use routing algorithms to find the best route to a destination.
There are  two major routing algorithms: global routing algorithms and decentralized routing algorithms.
In decentralized routing algorithms, each router has information about the routers it is directly connected to &#8212; it doesn&#8217;t know about every router in the network. These [...]]]></description>
