Routing Protocol

Definition

A routing protocol, in the context of blockchain and decentralized networks, is a set of rules that dictate how data or transactions are efficiently directed between different nodes or across distinct blockchain networks. These protocols determine the optimal paths for information flow, considering factors such as network congestion, transaction fees, and security parameters. They are essential for achieving interoperability and scalability within the broader digital asset ecosystem. Such protocols ensure reliable and timely communication across distributed systems.
