Routing protocols are all around you. Through a mess of radio waves, electrical signals, and flickering light, routing protocols determine how information gets from point A to point B. There are lots of analogies out there for how routing protocols work (think postal service p.s. SAVE the USPS!) and there are more routing protocols shooting around the interwebs than you may realize. But what if you don't want to use the traditional, (big I)nternet? What if your medium of communication is something so new and cutting edge, or so retro and outdated (let's call it vintage) that the commonly used standards don't apply. Or what if you just want to better understand how information moves through cyberspace? Where would you start?! You would start by building your own routing protocol.
