What is one fundamental difference between distance vector routing protocols and link state routing protocols?

Distance vector protocols exchange their routing tables, and add a metric to each route. Link-state routing protols exchange topology information, then calculate the routes. As a result, there are the following fundamental differences:
- The information that is exchanged - routing table vs. topology information.
- Link-state protocols know the topology of the network (or an area); distance vector routing protocols don't.
- When the best route is calculated: in distance-vector routing protocols, a metric is added while the route is propagated from router to router. In link-state protocols, the best route is calculated separately by each router, only after having complete topology information.

What is the difference between interior and exterior routing protocols?
Interior routing protocols are used to communicate within a single autonomous system. Exterior routing protocols are used to communicate between multiple autonomous systems.
What is the difference between procedures and protocols?
A procedure is a set way to do something. A step by step process. Protocols are guidelines only on how to do something.
