Routing Protocols vs. Routed Protocols

OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP & RIP are routing protocols, these protocols send routing updates that allow the routing process itself to determine the path or paths that data should take to get from point A to Point B.

Routed Protocols are the protocols that are actually carrying the data. The routed protocols you are most familiar with is IP; other routed protocols are Apple Talk, IPX, Vines, DECENT IV.
