A routed protocol provides enough information in the network layer address(IP address) to allow packets to be forwarded from one PC to another using a routing table (with the router) to forward the packets to their destination. Routed protocols carry the users data.
Examples of this would be:
IP (PCs and any machine that wants to connect to the Internet)
IPX (Novell Systems)
AppleTalk (Macs)
A routing protocol supports a routed protocol by providing mechanisms for sharing routing information - it allows routers to 'talk' to each other to update and maintain their routing tables. examples of routing protocols would be:
RIP - Routing Information Protocol
IGRP - Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
OSPF - Open Shortest Path First
ISIS Intermediate System to Intermediate System
BGP - Border Gateway Protocol
Hope this helps

well...Now that is a huge question... :) Here is the start...
In computer networking the term routing refers to selecting paths in a computer network along which to send data. Routing directs forwarding, the passing of logically addressed packets from their source network, toward their ultimate destination through intermediary nodes; typically hardware devices called routers. The routing process usually directs forwarding on the basis of routing tables which maintain a record of the best routes to various network destinations. Thus constructing routing tables, which are held in the routers' memory, becomes very important for efficient routing. This will allow you to segment your network adn also allow the servers/routers/bridges and the other network equipment to know where services are, as well as the other nodes on the network

Well, if you are using a non-routable protocol, such as Netbios or Netbeui, you are limited to the local network segment only. There would be no internet without a routable protocol.

routable protocols make data transfer reliable, safe, and fast. without them data packets could not find the most safe and fast route to their destination or find an alternative route if the current one goes down. that is basic answer. please email if you need a broad answer.
