The distance vector algorithm does not take into account current traffic, type of link, speed of link, type of endpoint routers, etc. It cannot adjust for changes in network traffic and bottlenecks.

Distance Vector protocols use what algorithm?

Distance Vector protocols use the Bellmanâ??Ford algorithm. The ARPANET system relied on Distance Vector protocols as their main routing technique in the early 80s.


How does the bellman ford algorithm work?

This distance-vector algorithm works by computing the shortest path , and considers weights. The algorithm was distributed widely in the RIP protocol.


What type of routing algorithm does BGP use?

Best Path Algorithm, also known as Path-Vector Routing Internetworking with Cisco and Microsoft Technologies pg. 297 If you are in net+ 3rd edition like me, I do not belive this protocol is mention which leads me to believe the answer we are looking for in the study guide is Distance Vector, since BGP is a distance vector protocol. It can only be one of two in this case afaik, distance vector or Link State. :)


How do you search a particular element from the vector?

To search a particular element from the vector, use the find() algorithm. If the vector is sorted, you can use the binary_search() algorithm to improve efficiency. Both algorithms can be found in the <algorithm> header in the C++ standard library.


Why rip protocol is known as didtance vector algorithm can any one explain?

The reason RIP is called a distance-vector algorithm is because of the way it determines the "best path" from one route to another. This is accomplished by something called a "cost metric", meaning that the "cost" of a route determines whether a path is a better path than some other route. A path may be more "costly" than another based on the distance it must travel, or the number of networks it must go through to reach the source. Since the cost metric is based primarily on distance and no other factors, it is known as a distance vector algorithm when determining route cost.


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).

Is distance a vector or scalar quantity?

Distance is a sclar quantity. A scalar quantity is a magnitude only. A vector has magnitude and direction. Distance AND direction is a vector quantity.


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.
