| Feature | Dynamic Routing | Static Routing |
| Configuration complexity | Generally independent of the network size | Increases with network size |
| Requires administrator knowledge | Advanced knowledge required | No extra knowledge required |
| Topology changes | Automatically adapts to topology changes | Administrator intervention required |
| Scaling | Suitable for simple and complex topologies | Suitable for simple topologies |
| Security | Less secure | More secure |
| Resource usage | Uses CPU, memory link bandwidth | No extra resources needed |
| Predictability | Route depends on the current topology | Route to destination is always the same |
Dynamic routing certainly has several advantages over static routing. However, static routing is still used
in networks today. In fact, networks typically use a combination of both static and dynamic routing.
Consider each of the features in above table, and briefly list the advantages and disadvantage of dynamic
routing and static routing.
