Routing vs Weiterleitung

forwarding

'die Weiterleitung' and 'das Routing' both have to do with the path that data or messages take to reach a recipient. 'Weiterleitung' is more general: a message, a call, or data is sent on to another address or person. 'Routing' is a technical term from network engineering. It is about which path data packets take through a network. The words can be confused because routing also involves forwarding data. When talking about emails, calls, or simple office processes, 'Weiterleitung' fits. When the topic is networks, routers, and data paths, 'Routing' is more precise.
