Routed protocols In contrast to routing protocols which control the movement of data throughout a network or the internet, routed protocols handle the encapsulation of the data that is to be moved in the network. In other words, routed protocols are used for host-to-host-communication and routing protocols are used by routers to decide how communication between hosts should be handled.
Routh's theorem Routh's theorem in geometry states the following: Let ABC be a triangle with area [ABC]. Let F, D and E be points in the sides AB, BC and AC such that the ratios AF/BF, BD/CD an CE/AE are r, s and t respectively.
Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion The Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion is a necessary (and frequently sufficient) method to establish the stability of a single-input, single-output (SISO), linear time invariant (LTI) control system. More generally, given a polynomial, some calculations using only the coefficients of that polynomial can lead us to the conclusion that it is not stable.
Routhian In the branch of physics known as dynamics the Routhian is a hybrid of the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian for a system. The Hamiltonian can be obtained by a Legendre transform of the Lagrangian; if this transformation is performed only with regards to cyclic coordinates (those not appearing explicitly in the Lagrangian), the result is called the Routhian.

Routing Wavelength Assignment (RWA) The problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) is critically important for increasing the efficiency of wavelength-routed all-optical networks. Given the physical network structure and the required connections, the RWA problem is to select a suitable path and wavelength among the many possible choices for each connection so that no two paths sharing a link are assigned the same wavelength.
