Routing Protocol Process

The JUNOS software routing protocol process controls the routing protocols that run on the router. The routing protocol process starts all configured routing protocols and handles all routing messages. It consolidates the routing information learned from all routing protocols into common routing tables. From this routing information, the routing protocol process determines the active routes to network destinations and installs these routes into the Routing Engine's forwarding table. Finally, the routing protocol process implements the routing policies you specify, which determine how routing information is transferred between the routing protocols and the routing table.

This section discusses the following topics:

For complete information about routing concepts, see the JUNOS Internet software configuration guides.
