A network administrator is explaining to a junior engineer why a router needs to process both OSPF hello packets and HTTP requests differently. The administrator states that OSPF messages are consumed by the router itself, while HTTP requests are forwarded toward a web server. Which statement correctly distinguishes these two types of traffic?

Both OSPF and HTTP are routed protocols because they both use IP addresses to reach their destinations.

Both OSPF and HTTP are routing protocols because they both traverse routers and require a routing table.

OSPF is a routing protocol that builds the routing table; HTTP is a routed protocol that carries user data across the network.

OSPF is a routed protocol that carries user data; HTTP is a routing protocol that determines the best path to the web server.

How do routing protocols assist in the forwarding of routed protocols?

By encapsulating user data with source and destination MAC addresses

By building and maintaining the routing table used to forward packets

By encrypting the data payload for secure transmission

By providing the logical addressing scheme used in the packet header

A network has multiple routers running OSPF. A junior admin asks why the routers are constantly sending OSPF hello packets to each other. What is the primary purpose of these hello packets?

To encrypt data transmitted between routers

To discover neighbors and establish adjacencies

To forward packets to their final destination

To carry user data between the routers
