During the process of _________, routes from one routing protocol are injected into another routing protocol.
- Aggregation
- Propagation
- Redistribution
- Segmentation
During the process of redistribution, routes from one routing protocol are injected into another routing protocol. Redistribution is commonly used when multiple routing protocols are used in the same network.
