What is the metric advertised by distance-vector protocols to specify the shortest path to distance networks?
You must go to ITT. The answer to your question is: The name distance vector is derived from the fact that routes are advertised as vectors of (distance, direction), where distance is defined in terms of a metric and direction is defined in terms of the next-hop router. For example, "Destination A is a distance of 5 hops away, in the direction of next-hop router X." As that statement implies, each router learns routes from its neighboring routers' perspectives and then advertises the routes from its own perspective. Because each router depends on its neighbors for information, which the neighbors in turn may have learned from their neighbors, and so on, distance vector routing is sometimes facetiously referred to as "routing by rumor." Got this from http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=24090&seqNum=3. I think the answer you need to give will be "hop count".
What are the Distance Vector protocols?
prone to routing loops supports routes only with hop counts lower than 15. uses distance as a metric for selecting routes.
What are the characteristics of Distance-vector protocol?
prone to routing loops supports routes only with hop counts lower than 15. uses distance as a metric for selecting routes.

Explain the Distance Vector Routing Protocols and its features?
Distance Vector means that Routers are advertised as vector of distance and direction. 'Direction' is represented by next hop address and exit interface, whereas 'Distance' uses metrics such as hop count.Routers using distance vector protocol do not have knowledge of the entire path to a destination. Instead DV uses two methods:Direction in which or interface to which a packet should be forwarded.Distance from its destination.
What is advance distance-vector algorithm?
Distance-vector algorithms refer to routing protocols - protocols used by routers to inform each other about available routes. In distance-vector algorithms, such as RIP or EIGRP, the routers inform each other about their routing tables, and each router adds a metric (or distance) to the route - however, the routers don't know about the topology of the network (unlike the link-state protocols, such as OSPF).
Can vectors be added to each other?
Yes, two vectors of similar kind can be added. For example we can add a distance vector with another distance vector. But we cannot add distance vector and velocity vector.
When should distance vector routing be used?
Distance vector routing is used when the network is simple and has no hierarchical design. Examples of distance vector routing protocols are RIP and IGRP.
How does route poisoning prevent routing loops?
Failed routes are advertised with a metric of infinity.
The distance from point A to point B on a grid is a vector?
true the distance from point A to point B on a grid = vector
How does a vector represents distance and direction?
A vector is like an arrow. It points in the relevant direction and its length is a measure of the distance.
The distance from point A to point B on a grid is scalar or vector?
VECTOR
