why (in the practice exams) does question 21 say that appletalk and IPX are not routing protocols?

the question reads: 21. Which of the following are routing protocols?

    They are not routing protocols, they are routed protocols. Routed protocols such as IP and the old IPX, and AppleTalk are protocols that allow data to be transferred between hosts in networks. Routing protocols, such as EIGRP, OSPF, RIP, etc. allow routers to exchange information about the network and available routes, as in dynamic routing.

    I hope that clear is it up. Check out some of the many articles on routing vs routed protocols for more info.
