RIP and OSPF, which layer?
i was having a debate with someone about rip and ospf and what layer of the OSI they live in. My argument was that they are likely to be layer 3 network protocols because of the fact they enable routing using logical addresses. My friend says they are application protocols because the user interacts with them. I can kinda…

Question on STP: Why are switches called bridges now?
I'm reading up STP now. Some of the new terms I come across are Bridge Priority, Bridge ID, Root Bridge. Why are switches called bridges now when coming to STP? Are they Cisco terms?
