HIERARCHICAL ROUTING


Meaning of HIERARCHICAL ROUTING in English

Routing that is based on hierarchical addressing. Note: Most Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol ( TCP/IP ) routing is based on a two-level hierarchical routing in which an IP address is divided into a network portion and a host portion. Gateways use only the network portion until an IP datagram reaches a gateway that can deliver it directly. Additional levels of hierarchical routing are introduced by the addition of subnetworks.
