There are two types of Protocols according to mechanism:
Routable & Non Routable
Non Routable protocols work on Broadcast & doesn't maintain tables whereas Routable (Routed) protocols are designed to work in larger networks & tables are maintained dynamically on Network devices.
Internet is vast & constitutes multiple Networks. Routable Protocols route information across Internet devices between Source to Destination Network.
NetBIOS Frames (NBF) protocol is non routable.
A routable protocol contains a network address as well as a device address. Non-routable protocol, on the other hand, regulate the transfer of data and always makes use of interior routing system to transmit data.
The routing protocol computers use to communicate over internet is as under :- TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). The above protocol is used by computers to communicate over internet throughout the world.
A non-routable protocol has less overhead and processing to do, and is more compact. This leads to faster transmission.
NON-ROUTABLE PROTOCOLS cannot survive being routed. Non-routable protocols presume that allcomputers they will ever communicate with are on the same network (to get them working in a routed environment, you must bridge the networks). Todays modern networks are not very tolerant of protocols that do not understand the concept of a multi-segment network and most of these protocols are dying or falling out of use.NetBEUIDLCLATDRPMOP
NetBEUI is the only listed protocol that is not routable; the rest are.
Network Layer
TCP/IP networking protocol is used when communicate through the internet
TCP/IP is the protocol used to communicate on most networks.
HTTP stands for (Hypertext transfer protocol) it is a method by which computers communicate webpages to one another. It is the backbone of the internet as it is today.
A routing protocol refers to a protocol that is only used between routers, such as OSPF and EIGRP. A routed protocol, meanwhile, refers to a protocol wherein data can be routed, such a IP, AppleTalk, and IPX.
