Explanation

Routing is the process of selecting the best path for data to travel from a source to a destination when multiple possible paths exist. If only a single path were available, no routing decision would be necessary as the path would be predetermined. Routing algorithms evaluate various factors like distance, speed, and congestion to choose the optimal route among many.
