After you have a list of requirements, you can review your available options and<br />

determine <strong>the</strong> solution appropriate for your <strong>network</strong>ing environment. Table 10.1<br />

provides a brief feature comparison of <strong>the</strong> popular IP routing options supported on<br />

<strong>the</strong> Cisco IOS.<br />

Route Selection<br />

The router will use all <strong>the</strong> available sources of reachability information <strong>to</strong> construct<br />

<strong>the</strong> most accurate and efficient routing table possible, based on <strong>the</strong> available<br />

information. Each information source is assigned an administrative distance, which<br />

is used <strong>to</strong> determine a route's integrity. Table 10.2 lists <strong>the</strong> IOS's default<br />

administrative distance values for its supported IP routing pro<strong>to</strong>cols.
