General comment

This article has an elegant beginning that nicely describes what routing is for a beginner. I reworded it a little (for better flow, I hope) and consolidated it into two paragraphs. Great start!Pat Palmer 14:42, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Given that there are multiple subarticles, the thing that would make this small article relatively complete would be a succinct overview in the last section of how the information base (etc) can be "learned". Possibly, brief examples related to the highway analogy might be sufficient.Pat Palmer 14:45, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
