Routing works using IP addresses in a LAN(Local Area Network) the router assigns a device(s) connected to a port a certain IP Address that it uses to data from other devices or the internet. Your internet IP Address is different from you actual device IP Address. It uses the IP Address as a literal Address for information like mail in your mailbox has a to and from Address.

Internetworking primarily focuses on connecting multiple networks and facilitating communication between them, typically dealing with routing between different networks rather than internal routing. Internal routing is usually managed by protocols specific to individual networks, such as OSPF or EIGRP. However, understanding internal routing can be beneficial for internetworking, as it helps in optimizing performance and ensuring seamless communication across interconnected networks. Overall, while not the primary concern, awareness of internal routing can enhance the effectiveness of internetworking strategies.
An IP routing algorithm is routing used for IP networks to forward datagrams over a network. You can learn more about IP routing algorithms at the Wikipedia.
Networking.
Directly connected networks appear in the routing table when a network interface on a router is configured with an IP address and subnet mask, and the interface is in an "up" state. The router automatically adds these networks to its routing table as local routes, allowing it to route traffic directly to those networks without needing additional configuration or protocols. This ensures that the router can efficiently communicate with devices on those directly connected networks.
This is when network routes are manually entered into a router's configuration, as opposed to using a routing protocol to automatically determine routes.
Networks
Each router builds a complete and synchronized view of the network.
The whole idea of a routing protocol, such as RIP, is that routers learn about other networks (those that are not directly connected) automatically. This reduces the amount of configuration needed, and allows the routers to adapt to changing conditions. For example, if a certain route is not available, an alternate route - should one exist - will be enabled.The whole idea of a routing protocol, such as RIP, is that routers learn about other networks (those that are not directly connected) automatically.
