.Routing protocols distribute routing information throughout all routers on a network. By knowing about all other routers connected to the network, each router can determine the best path to use to deliver your traffic. Examples of routing protocol would be OSPF, RIP, EIGRP or BGP. but Routed protocols can be sent over a routed network. Today, with IP (think of TCP/IP) being the predominate protocol in use on the Internet and in most networks, we don't often think about routed versus unrouted protocols. That is because IP is a routed protocol. Meaning, IP is designed to be routed over and through different networks. This is because the IP address is broken up into network and node (host) by the subnet mask. An example of a protocol that is not routed (unroutable) would be NetBIOS. It works great on a small local network (in your house) but wouldn't work well over a large network connected by dedicated network circuits or the Internet.

There is Simple and Easy Difference Between Routed and Routing Protocol

Routed Protocol -->  Protocol That can be Route to another Network"TCP,UDP,IP"

Routing Protocol --> Protocol used to route the traffic like "RIP,EIGRP,OSPF"

A routing protocol is a protocol that dynamically provides a routing decision (next-hop), some examples are: EIGRP & OSPF

A routed protocol is a protocol that provides Layer 3 addressing scheme, some exampes: IPv4 & IPv6

A routed protocol is a protocol by which data can be routed. Routed protocol are IP, AppleTalk, and IPX. In this kind of protocols we require an addressing scheme and subnetting. Addressing scheme will be used to determine the network to which a host belongs and to identifying that host on that particular network. All hosts on an internetwork are using the services of a routed protocol. That means routers, servers, and workstations to. The only two routed protocols that are in use today are IP and IPX but IPX is dropped from Cisco in exams and is not in use much these days. If you are studying routed protocols the best advice is to focus on IP routed protocol.

A routing protocol is different and is only used between routers. It makes possible for routers to build and maintain routing tables. There are three classes of routing protocols- 1)distance vector, 2)link state,3)hybrid

OSPF is one of two link state protocols, the other one is IS-IS. EIGRP is the only hybrid protocol but in normal literature you will see that EIGRP is distance vector routing protocol.

Routing protocol (OSPF, RIP, EIGRP, BGP, IS-IS) select the best route for Routed protocol (IPv4, IPv6)

routed protocol is the one which the basic format and can be transmitted from one network to another.it is the basic structure like IP

routing protocol is the one which is required to carry the routed protocols to the network destinations.EIGRP,IGRP

Routed Protocols used between routers to direct user traffic.

Example:IP,IPX,OSI,DECNET

Routing Protocols used between Routers to maintain Routing tables

Example:RIP,EIGRP,OSPF,BGP
