Note

Routing is sometimes referred to as forwarding, but it’s important to note that routing is a different process from forwarding.

Process of collecting data from one device and sending it to another device. This process differs from routing because it doesn’t manage moving data from one device to another. Unlike the routing process, forwarding performs some actions and simply forwards the packets which arrive in intermediate routers.
