Routing is the process of determining the exact sequence of activities and resources that are necessary to complete a given task. It involves assigning tasks to specific resources, determining the order in which tasks will be performed, and scheduling the resources needed to complete the tasks.
Sequencing is the process of assigning a priority order to the tasks. This priority order is used to determine which tasks should be performed first, second, and so on. It is important to note that the sequence of tasks may not necessarily follow the order in which the tasks were originally assigned. The priority order of tasks may be based on criteria such as cost, time, or resource availability.
Routing determines the optimal path for data packets to travel from their source to their destination. It involves selecting the most efficient route through a network based on factors such as distance, traffic, and network conditions.
Sequencing determines the order in which packets should be processed. When multiple packets are queued at an intermediate device, sequencing dictates their processing order, which can be based on criteria such as FIFO, LIFO, Priority etc.
Routing focuses on determining the optimal path or route for tasks or jobs through a system, while sequencing involves determining the optimal order of task execution within a system or a single machine. Routing deals with physical or logical movement of tasks, while sequencing deals with the order of task execution.
